Allow to pick tool from Customize Toolbar for temp use
Customizing the tool bar has been a great addition. But there are some occasions where I need a tool (ex: spiral or grid). This is rarely used, maybe once a month or less, but when I do need it, I don't want to have to add it to my tool bar. Can we just choose the ellipses for customize tool bar, and when we click on a tool, it is activated. I don't need to see it added to the toolstrip, I just need it for that moment.
Think of the three dots as a user experience hierarchy versus a way to customize the tool strip. "More tools here" and then anything that is secondary or tertiary is available without customizing anything.

Mark, can you check if it works for you in the latest Illustrator version?
Open the Edit Toolbar menu, click on a tool you don’t have in the panel, and then close the menu — the tool should be active now. -
Oh, I like this one. I’m not sure if it should be picked at a single or double click though.
