I would like to have the ability to easily & quickly move some faces (or any selection in editmode).
By default, when in Global transformation mode, the G-Z-Z combination activates a movement in local mode.
It would be really great if Normal Mode was activated instead of Local.
I could, of course change the transformation mode to Normal, the hit GZZ, but … too much clicks !
So, is there a way to change the GZZ combination in the Global MOde .
A friend found the solution.
User prefs --> 3D view -> translate --> Orientation.
Now, when hitting GZZ or ZZ while tweaking, it moves along normal Z… or X, or Y.
Shrink/Fatten (since Nov 13) is context sensitive (in FaceMode it does what you want).
You have to be in FaceMode when you invoke it, use ALT key-modifier for correct transforms.
