Allow navigating while transforming
For better snapping, geometry interaction and results overview, the viewport navigation (orbiting / panning / zooming) should be possible during execution of all modal operators (moving / duplicating / rotating / scaling / loop cutting...). Arising key conflict between MMB axis constraint and MMB for view orbiting could be resolved by reassigning the axis constraint (MMB press / MMB hold) to Alt press / Alt hold.

This is planed for 2.8 as part of new Wiget system.
Be specific. This is a proposal. "Should be resolved" is not sufficient. What modifiers should be used for each of those conflicts? Please share a specific mapping that you would recommend.
Not just what, also how: how could a coder implement this?
