Tool specific hotkeys (like in Modo)
In Modo you can assign hotkeys that are tool specific which is super smart.
Say I want to create a cylinder, I can bind Alt+1 to make that cylinder four sided and Alt+2 six sided etc.
I can't do that in Maya since hotkeys seem to be global.
It would speed up my workflow a lot to be able to add custom hotkeys that are tool specific so I can bind "<" and ">" as generic "increase/decrease" buttons
Not sure if this addresses your question, but it is possible to write scripts that act like "smart" hotkeys.
I have a single Hotkey for Merge Vertices, Merge UVs, which is assigned to the "m" key, and another for Merge To Center, Collapse Edge, and Collapse Face assigned to "Shift-m". The scripts just looks at my current selection, and decides which action(s) to take. It should be possible (in theory) to write such a script for "<" and ">" that will query the current Tool (Create Cylinder, Create Cube, Create Plane, etc.), and then decide which parameter should be adjusted up and down.
I can also imagine a Script bound to "<" and ">" that inspects the history of the current selection, locates any polyCreate nodes, and modifies the divisions as well.
