One of the things that I really dislike about Revit add-ins is how they're segregated on the
Add-Ins tab (or a custom tab created by the add-in). When I select a wall, if there are add-in tools available for modifying walls, I want them displayed on Revit's
Modify tab, just like the native tools.
Over on his
The Building Coder blog, Jeremy Tammik posted a conversation he had with Frode Tørresdal in which they arrived at an add-in that implements .NET UI Automation in a very interesting way to add context-sensitive buttons to the Modify tab.

Jeremy has posted the source code for the
ModifyTabButton project on GitHub
here.
I'd love to see some third-party developers make use of this one for their own add-ins...
