although you may be looking for a more general paradigm.... here's an initial 
idea:

for gain, which already has [G] in both clip and track contexts, could we just 
use a modifier with the [G] for automation curves in those contexts. i see that 
ctrl-[G] and alt-[G] don't seem to be occupied. maybe ctrl-[G] could activate 
the gain curve for clips and alt-[G] for tracks. that could be for a specific 
clip or track -- you could switch individual clips or tracks in/out of gain 
automation mode that way. F2 could still be a global gain curve mode for all 
clips, and F3 (which is unused, right?) could send all *tracks* into gain curve 
mode.

probably some "unclaimed baggage" in there, eh.... but, hey, maybe it's a 
start?!?

that would be a reasonable short-term goal.

thanks for the explanation! unfortunately, my coding skills are far too basic 
to dive into that right now!
