option to keep axis gizmo visible when using g,r, or s
Currently Blender is set up to hide the viewport navigate axis gizmo that lives in the top right corner of the viewport (the one next to the N menu) whenever you use grab, scale, or rotate using the g, s, or r keys. It would be useful to have the option to keep this axis displayed for orientation reference when these transform modes are active. I often find that I have hit the g key and then realize I don't know which axis I want to move on and rather than blindly cycling through x, y, z, it would be easier to glance up at the axis for reference.
This idea was marked as a duplicate of Don't hide the gizmo during Grab/Scale/Rotate.

Duplicate of this proposal .
Set the hot key on left tool bar to G ,R ,S for "every mode that u need " it`s a work around .(not clever. I know... ^^)
I personally would like it to have a default switch for that , like the left click button an option for everyone.
In fact default G R S does have an option in preference setting that shows "constraint axis" on press key , but its a "constraint axsis" ,for me its not as usful as the left tool bar transfom tools.
The new 2.8 transfom tools does have some drawbacks . EX: U can`t paint weight and move the bone under the weight paint mode with new 2.8 transfom tools. It is not fully intergrated yet in some parts at the moment.
* @Nick * Thanks for your suggestions. I am hoping for a 'fix' in this case, as i am already using workarounds for this.
