Breakdowner constrain transform and axis
The Breakdowner a tool that already comes in blender is fantastic for animators, it let's you quickly blend between two poses to create breakdowns. Under the hood what it does is it holds the values from the keyframe that comes after and the ones before and mixes them to the percentage desired being 0 the entire previous keyframe and 100 the latter. When you get more intricate and detailed in your animation process you start doing this control by control, but there isn't a way currently to achieve this on just one transform much less one axis.
So here is the proposal is simple: Just as G R S let you move rotate scale, and then X Y Z let you do that in one desired axis, when using the Breakdower it would be great to be able to add GRS and XYZ to constrain what transform / axis is being breakdowned.
Any questions¿?

for everyone that voted, thanks for the support! thanks to Aligorith, it's now in master lollypopman.com/2017/03/12/pose-breakdowner-improvement/
Good idea!
A question about the axis limits: Does it make sense to limit by axis without considering the transform? For example, if you pressed "X", it would limit it to only working on the x-translate + x-rotate + x-scale.
To be honest i don't think so, it would have to be a very specific use case, at least I personally dont think it would be useful
