Certain Modifier ON/OFF
I can describe it as a good handy script for choosing a certain modifier in all the scene - in any scene node - and turn it on and off easily,
i really searched for this specific script and i couldn't find it.
i use it alot myself as i work in animation to turn on and off "flex" modifier because when you grab the time slide back when its "ON" especially in a big scene it takes alot of time.
You can use it with any other modifier such as turbosmooth ,etc.
sadly the modifier name must be identical in all nodes to have this script work.
if any one could help me enhance it please do.

drag the mcr script-file into the max viewport...i thought its the fastest way to initialize a script (?)
@jordan walsh:
tried your script some weeks ago. maybe wasnt intuitive enough or too complex, but i failed. will give it a try in further projects.
sometimes simplicity beats multifunctionality ;)

"i saw your script before!!but the name didn't mentioned - at least for my poor english - that this is the purpose of this modifier -and by the way i started it as a toggle but in flex modifier for the same purpose D:-"

Just to let you know, I have made a script for that purpose. Well it started off as a toggle for meshsmooths being off in viewport but grew a lot!!

PS: drag it into the viewport and you'll find a new category "Thinking-Twins" under customization properties.

The script is ok, but if you wish some ideas - there is some trick by using "not state" to swap true/false value:
