Activetype script for Maya?

[titol]

Hi there,

I'm a Max user and I need to switch to Maya for profesionnal reason. In 3dsmax I was used to use this little script called "activetype" (http://www.scriptspot.com/3ds-max/scripts/activetype-0-30).

Does anyone know a way to achieve the same kind of "effect" in Maya?

In résumé, with this script you assign a shortcut to pop up somekind of window where you type in the name of the object or modifier you want to use and you have it!
It prevents you from losing time going through whatever you need to get through to get wathever you need to use

Thanx in advance to anyone...

Maya does not have modifiers but yes: Its possible to make. They actually ship with something like this which could be quite easily refurbished.

Really depends on the type of polish you need.
