THIS SCRIPT DOES NOT WORK IN MAYA 2011 OR ABOVE!
It only works in Maya's Original User Interface 2010 or below. An upgraded version for 2011 and above is available here: https://www.creativecrash.com/maya/marketplace/scripts-plugins/animation/c/abxpicker-2011---2
*Thank you for all the great feedback this script has received. I'd love to get some screen grabs to see where and how this script is being used. Send me whatever you have to adam@adamburke.net
*Documentation on the Forum seems to have been lost when highend upgraded. Will work on getting it back online. The script itself has documentation when you click the "?" button in the upper right corner
