its very good if we have a floating window that contain favourite selections so we can select those immediatly without changing tool.
any body can migrate ("selection layer buttons" script) to a floating window?

Do you mean this:

As a floating window, it couldn't be open all the time (due to how floating windows access the API). You'd likely have to open it, make your selection, and then close it for the selection to be made.
If you want something that is always visible, you might try:

But you still have to select the tool to used the buttons.

Just in case you don't know, you can hold a shortcut key to use its assigned tool and when you release the key you go back to the tool you had before automatically. It's not like having the windows always there but it's a point in between I guess.

Just holding any tool key you can use that tool while having that key pressed and releasing the key tells moho to come back to the tool you were using before. So for example imagine you are drawing with the freehand tool, and you want to use Stan's tool script, that you have binded to the F key: you can hold F select the layer you want in Stan's panel and releasing the F will bring you back to the freehand tool so you can keep drawing quicker.

You're welcome. Currently holding a tool like that produces some lag but, while we wait for an official fix, you can get rid of the lag using this fix that synthsin75 was so generous to share with us:
