Permanent axis locking in edit mode

Hi everyone

Is there a way in edit mode to lock tweaks to the desired axis permanently? I’d like to tweak a couple of vertices consecutively without pressing “y” or whatever all the time invoking the tweak (grab, or simple grab after selecting the vert).

Thank you,

Mihály

is there a way to achieve this finally?
i want to tweak dozens of vertices in x-z and i am getting tired of pressing shift-y all the time :wink:
