Since my project was mostly done, I took an initiative to learn new stuffs and enhance my maya workflow today. I still have bunch of things to do for the other hotbox. It's a potential area that could be heavily modified to suit ur workflow, thus, increase the efficiency and save un-necessary times :)
This one is just the beginning :D
/*
SCRIPT NAME: menu_Views.mel
VERSION: 1.0
AUTHOR: Original author: Tchoa [tchoa_2k@hotmail.com]
Script modified by Elte [veltigo@gmail.com]
MODIFIED: 18.09.06 - modification to simplify and suit my workflow.
ABOUT: Sedikit tambahan pada hotbox common Modeling Pane. Default hanya menampilkan persp, side, top, dan front. Script ini
menambahkan fungsi look through, tear off Panel dan Tampilan camera yg berada di scene.
USAGE: taroh script di \maya\x.x\prefs\markingMenus
