Brian Keffer shares a new tool for Maya (freeware) he created called Ninja Speedbox, which is a context sensitive toolbox for Maya that dynamically changes showing relevant tools depending on which mode you are in. The modes are: No selection, single object, Multiple Objects, vertex, edge, and face, so the various modes contain commonly used functions for that particular mode. When you only have faces selected it will change to face mode. When you only have vertices selected it will change to vertex mode.. etc. Check out Ninja SpeedBox for Maya here.

Brian Keffer notes that “This will become part of Ninja_Dojo somtime in the future. If you already have Ninja Dojo, You can just copy this into the /Ninja_Dojo/Bonus/ directory. It will then appear in the Mel tab as a button.”
