Radial Menu for Block Size / Variants
I Generally like the current controls For SE 2, very intuitive and it's great to have modifier keys like SHIFT and CTRL.
Block Rotation and general interaction is great (I'm Right Handed). But Variant / size selection is very lacking to me. The R / SHIFT + R feels unnatural and is uncomfortable to use.
As more blocks gets introduced to the game the size / Variant groups will most likely get larger.
I gave it some thought.
CTRL + Mouse Wheel is currently Being used to change the distance of blocks. Although that function is only active when creating a new grid. so the initial suggestion in OP is viable.
I do believe that something like the Picture would be a lot more intuitive and it would make for quick selection In the size / variety options and you would not have to cycle through every block to get to what you want.
The scroll Wheel would still be cycling through the hotbar and the the MMB or CTRL + MMB Will open the radial menu where you can then choose the specific block and size you want to use. (Since MMB still carries paint functionality)
This Would basically function like a folder structure and could function along side the current R / SHIFT + R.
The Radial Menu could be split left and right by size or have clear grouping of sizes and slots and radius should be expanded dynamically according to the amount of variants.
So...
1: Scroll to navigate hotbar.
2: press the middle mouse button and move mouse to open and navigate the variant radial menu,
By my understanding from the blogposts and streams, I do believe that this system would implement well into the current control layout and the overall vision for SE 2.
If not already planned Please Consider. and thanks for for the great games and years of entertainment.

It would also be good to change the size with a single button instead of going through an entire group where there are the same blocks with 2 different sizes.

I too don't care for the way the resize function works. Using either ctrl or alt + scroll wheel would feel far more natural to me, and the block placement range? Eh... If it's a sacrifice to be made, honestly, I'd rather lose that and have block size selection.

I like the concept, but would offer a tweak to the suggested UI you give. Instead of using the mouse button to open the radial selector, use the R key (like with the paint gun) and Shift+R to change block size, Or reverse those two keybinds to align with SE1 where you can use R to change block size.

I personally like the R and Shift+R to change variants, but I would much prefer a radial menu for this. If for nothing else that to get to one end of the "loop" more efficiently.

I'd like Scroll Wheel for size and a radial menu for shape

My biggest issue with cycling the blocks now with R is it seems that half the time the part of the block that changes is often rotated away from me making it hard to tell what shape I'm on. For the most part I just read the text to find the piece that I need rather than rely on looking at the block. This is something that would be made more expedient by a solution outlined by the OP.

I'l prefer using just R to open this radial menu to change the block shape, and using shift+r to change size of block. I think that change shapes is more often used than block size change.
And the all varies of all shapes and size of block just haven't enought space in radial menu. I think this menu should have the shapes of block by 1 size.
P.s. sorry for my bad English)
