A hudge improvement for us would be to have a combined move+rotate gizmo ! We do a lot of translation and rotations on thousands of objects in each scenes, and switching move mode, rotate move, move mode, etc etc is a plain nightmare ... We could easily have the triaxis for move and triarcs for rotate at same time, would be just amazing and saving time.

cool idea! it cold be interesting to see something like that

I like that idea, and I’d add the following:
1) I’d like to see distance, angles, etc. info close to the gizmo, in the vp -too many times I need to move or rotate something a specific amount, but the mat ed panel is hiding the x/y/z info at the bttom of the screen, so I have to stop what I’m doing, move the panel, then do it. I usually use f12, but still…
2) make angles, distance snappable via ctrl key: if I rotate something then think oops, it has to be 15deg, press A, then the rotate freaks instead of snapping to the nearest 5deg. Make a temp angle/distance snap so I can press e then ctrl while I’m rotating to temp snap (ang snap off when I release ctrl)to nearest 5deg (or whatever increment I have set in prefs). Same with distance: move something then press ctrl to move it by increments of 1 unit.
