Grabbing an object and locking one axis

Support Basics & Interface
1

Is there a way to grab “g” an object (vert, edge or face) and move it along 2 axis only. I know if I am perfectly square along 2 axis the other won’t change, but that rarely works out for me. I usually work in full screen not quad view. In other words, say I have an object I want to resize along X and Y but have none of the points change along the Z axis. I’d prefer to use only “g” not “g” then “y” or “x” as needed. Just “g” then use the arrow keys to move it.

Thanks

Press G (or R or S, depends what you want), then press Shift + [desired axis to be locked]
Example: Move object in x and y, but not in z = G + Shift + z
