Free Gizmo
Hi Dev Team
I wish you can make the Gizmo move and rotate freely without affecting the geometry in EDIT MODE. I have been introduced to many "workarounds" but none of them are convenient to me. This topic has been discussed many times in the past but I haven't seen the feature added yet, I wonder why?
How about when press shift or ctrl or alt you make the gizmo move and rotate without affecting the geo and when you let go it affects. Simple.

you can set the gizmo on your 3D cursor location and place it and rotate it wherever you want. Or move just the origin of the object to get the gizmo offseted from object transformations
Yup that is one of the workarounds I get a lot, moving and rotating the 3D cursor is awkward. Holding shift + left-click mouse button to position it kind of works but not perfect and the rotation is awful!!!
Yes please do it!!!
There already is an option for that of course, clicking Ctrl + . activates it, the only thing missing it seems is just a button on the gizmo itself that toggles that property. Sounds easy enough for community contributor to tackle it.
"ctrl + ." for Object Mode, and it displaces the origin pivot point.
