Blender2.8 Follow Along Tuts

See my comment that I make on the vidoe by Tutor4u. I am Jemcrystal youtu.be/elUJCEC06r8 . I am trying to explain that when following a tut you must be able to see the x, y, z numbers AT ALL TIMES not have it vanish. It need to remain floating there after hitting enter. If I cannot see the tutorialist's exact placements I will not be able to copy the number when I follow along. Also, in 2.8 there is no longer a place to copy the numbers over to like there was in the 7+ series. This will ruin my ability to follow tuts exactly. I will have to guess at where they stretched this or that to.

Do I make sense? Do you understand what I am saying? That if I follow a tutorialist along exactly I cannot exactly copy their numbers over because they are now up in the corner and vanish quickly and move to fast to see? Try following someone and copy their numbers exactly. See? You can't.

Perhaps you should create a mock-up that shows what you're expecting to see... and where it should appear in the interface as the tutorial-maker is working.

Tell the instructor to always keep the operators panel open (the box in the bottom left that appears for a moment after each action they perform). That almost always contains all the information you need. I was able to follow the Football Trophy tutorial with almost 100% accuracy because the instructor left it open in that video: youtube.com/watch

Isn't it right here in the top left corner of the viewport ?

You can see the numbers in his tutorial or do I misunderstood something?
