Make Gravity Gun (Grabber, whatever) a Toggle Weapon?

Is there anyway to bound the grabber to be a toggle weapon? You know, like 
the flashlight is. You push the button once to get it out, and push it again 
to put it away (and get out your previous weapon).

I'm not sure what my problem is, perhaps I'm used to Half-life 2's gravity 
gun, which is toggled much like I mentioned. I'm using my extra buttons on 
the mouse, so normally end up hitting the button again to put it away, and 
I'm left with my fists. Rubbish.

Thanks for any help.

It would also be nice if using the artifact with berserk that it
automatically switches to fists.

Yeah, I use the same exact setup for the Grabber actually.  I'm not sure 
actually if that post will be the same fix, since RoE has two weapons in 
that slot, but who knows?

I try not to use the grabber so much anymore, it feels like I'm cheating :/

You have to set it to toggle in the player.def file (best to create a 
toggle.pk4 and just put that one file in their in a def folder).  Then 
in your doomconfig bind a key to impulse2.

probably should have tested that out before posting.  that doesn't 
work.  how do you set a weapon to an impulse?
i thought weapon2 would be impulse2.  there doesn't seem to be a way to 
get to the grabber it's bound as a toggle with the fists.  So setting it 
to toggle just confuses things, trying the above almost none of my 
weapon binds worked.
So don't try what I wrote.
