In Geopak SS3 (and perhaps other implementations of OpenRoads) have a context toolbox that comes up when you select an element, but only when Identify Elements Automatically is enabled (or unless the user does a tentative snap after a selection, but that's another story). For one, some users might prefer that the context toolbar comes up without IEA altogether.
Be that as it may, for such users that don't like IEA in the usual case, and aren't doing any operations on civil elements, but acknowledging that sometimes we need the context toolbar: Please add a key-in whereby we can toggle IEA on and off on demand without having to right-click to get the AccuSnap properties dialog and toggle that option.
