Well, that's a little different .. for instance, on a mud I played I 
had a group of triggers used for training purposes.  It was very useful 
to be able to toggle the triggers on or off at will (could only use 
triggers for training while at the keys) - I had an alias 'prac' set up 
to do this.

message( "practicing " .. arg[1] )
-- set what we prac
if arg[1] == "" then
   prac = nil
else
   prac = arg[1]
end

The triggers then would key off of what was in the 'prac' variable.  
But being able to quickly toggle them on and off from a floating pane 
would have been useful also.

The way rapscallion did this was with a pane that looked like so:

x trigger1
x trigger2
o trigger3
o trigger4

x and o's are check boxes filled or not, that controlled whether the 
trigger was enabled.  Double clicking a trigger name would bring up the 
edit dialog.
