Options bar: Check an option as "Just This Once" or "Temporarily"

Would it be possible to allow us to affect tool options "just this once"?

 

For example, I wish to move and disjoin a wall from a wall chain.

Right now I'd have to click the "Disjoin" option when in the move command and NOT FORGET to uncheck it the next time I use my move command.

Sometimes I actually won't use the move tool for a few hours.

By the time I want to move something again I will have no recollection of checking that option. I'm happily moving things around only to notice that the disjon option was still on when it's too late.

 

In light of that It'd be neat to have the option to temporarily use the disjoin option ( or any other option for that matter ).

I don't know maybe have it so that when right clicking a checkbox on the options bar it will only be active for this single action. It then reverts back to the original setting the next time I use the tool.

 

This is a minor inconvenience but hey.. it'd be small comfort.

At the very least, Disjoin (in particular) should ALWAYS default to unchecked (for EVERY use). It's just too dangerous. See also Show a warning dialog when checking "Disjoin" [ARCHIVED]
