Translate, Rotate, Scale gizmo possibility to be always visible when using the shortcut keys

Would be great that we could set in preferences the possibility to have the translate, rotate, scale gizmo always visible when using the G, R and S shortcut.

Has an animator, I like to use the gizmo to be precise in the axis that I want to move, rotate or scale the object, and being constantly pressing the tool bar, or even using the shift+space shortcut, it's very painful and breaks my focus, even if I get used to the shortcuts G-Y ..... it still tend to very distracting while I'm focus in the animation.

Please take my suggestion in consideration. Thank you

Don't hide the gizmo during Grab/Scale/Rotate

If I find it necessary that we have the option of changing the Shortcut as you say.

I feel your pain and thankfully there is a new (free) add-on that solves this problem, and rather elegantly too: blendermarket.com/products/gizmodal-ops

I found a turn around for this subject, if we right click on Translate, rotate, scale, on the tool box respective buttons, we can assign a shortcut key to them, I tried the same has maya -W (translate), E (rotate), R(scale) and worked fine!
