Local Edit Mode for Edges ( Cannot move or scale edge by its local axis)

I am not sure if this is not possible in blender but I would like to ask if someone knows a way around it. I was trying to move the edge up to its local z axis but it doesn't work. If it is not possible I hope blender can add this feature.

It is especially helpful when doing hard surface modelling. Thanks.

yeah at some point in 2.8 the decision was made to make the Z,Z shortcut (or X,X Y,Y) use local space instead of normal. This was a bizarre decision to me, since the functionality in 2.79 worked just fine and seems a lot more useful than local?

You want to be able to move an edge along its local Z-axis? That's been possible in Blender for a very long time. Or am I misreading your proposal?

* @Jason van Gumster * I guess I just missed something. Maybe I have to apply its location or somethings else. What's happening is, when I try to set the axis to either local and global the line is still vertically straight.

* @johnpdelacruz26 * Try Normal.
