Like the split polygon tool, allow right mouse button click to complete the append poly tool without exiting the tool.

While this would be nice, there is another way you can do it. When you want to complete an action with a tool, but continue using it, just hit “y” on your keyboard. This will complete the append, and allow you to start a new append somewhere else.

Though this would be an improvement from what’s there now, it would still be incredibly clunky if you say wanted to create a strip of polygons (typical edgeflow workflow). That would be 3 clks per poly… multiply n polys in loop and by n loops. What is required is for Maya to have a poly mode (overridable of course), that would autodetect 4 edges and create the poly for you.. without the right click.
