In TFS, how do I override the “keep items checked out when checking in” setting for a check in?

Question

In Team Foundation Server, I want to use the setting to "keep items checked out when checking in" active, but I will eventually want to do a check in where it does not check it back out automatically.

How do I accomplish this without changing the setting every time? Is there a shortcut key I can use (pressing shift while checking in or something)?

I am also willing to do the reverse and keep the setting off and do something extra when I want to check in and keep the file checked out. I just don't want to have to change the setting every time.

I guess I'll put here what I put in the comments above so that this has an answer to it. Unfortunately there is no way to do this today in TFS. If this is something people are passionate about then I suggest they vote for it on our UserVoice site .
