Temporary Selection active tool
Since Left click select became a thing, it has introduced a mini drawback: The widgets of other active tools (Like transform tools) makes it harder to make selections, while they're active.
Here's a solution: When any other active tool than "Select" is used, you could temporarily make "Select" tool active while holding a hotkey. To elaborate: The active tool temporarily becomes "Select", while holding "Alt", and returns to the previous active tool when "Alt" is released. This will speed up the workflow for those that use active tools.
Otherwise, the user has to manually make long mouse movements and click multiple times to perform the same action.

Hold operator change and set back to former on key release. Yes. Softimage had this.
Translate/Select mode activated Hold key to do loop cut Click to make a loop cut Release key to do loop cut Returns to Translate/Select mode
I think select and transform tools should be integrated instead, so you can add/subtract selections and choose box/lasso/circle select as your drag action, while using transform tools.
@fbcrenshaw91: Aren't they already implemented?...
