Or just buy a garden hose nozzle with a selector built in

Don't use a garden hose nozzle. The 90 degree bend is a terrible design, as the pressure is wasted when it is forced against the top of the bend. Use something straight, like a water balloon filling nozzle.

in norway most gardenhose nozzels are straight, so i dont think that wil be a problem

The straight ones usually don't have a nozzle selector though

I've designed a modular garden hose attachment myself if you want to check it out.

I don't know how well it'll fulfill your needs but it's worth a look I guess. In my experience, a fast selector (i.e. rotary) is not terribly necessary. The nozzle fully optimized for range is optimized for almost all other situations. (Except, perhaps, at point blank range.)
