Gizmodal Ops takes the Gizmo workflow from other 3D software (tap a key to show the transform, rotation or scale gizmo) and blends this seamlessly with Blender's Modal workflow (for precise transforms, rotations and scaling).
Gizmodal Ops "listens" to your keystrokes and changes the workflow depending on your input. For example, a single key press keeps the Gizmo visible, but multiple key presses changes your scene to a Modal workflow. (Click the video link for a better explanation on how this works).
This harmonised workflow is perfect for people coming from other 3D programs without sacrificing the benefits of Blender's modal operations. Ideal for first-time users and Blender veterans alike.
Using Gizmodal Ops is a much more intuitive way of working which you will need to experience to understand and appreciate fully.
Features:
When using Blender, the shortcuts G / R / S enable the corresponding Gizmos. Press X / Y / Z to activate the Modal Operator:
Pressing G / R / S and moving the mouse enables the modal operator as well:

Very practical plugin, fills a major gap in Blender. However, there are some bugs at the moment, hoping they can be fixed as soon as possible ^_^
Hey there, thank you very much for your feedback. I have received multiple reports about Gizmodal Ops not activating properly ever since the release of Blender 4.0, and I haven't been able to reproduce the issues on any of my machines. Usually, fixes for the issue were disabling and re-enabling the addon or manually modifying the Blender keymap. Please have a look at https://github.com/BlenderDefender/Gizmodal-Ops/issues/21 and https://github.com/BlenderDefender/Gizmodal-Ops/issues/17, if "some bugs" are described there already, or open up a new GitHub issue to describe the problems that you encounter. I'm very grateful for every piece of information that can help me figure out the issue.
Best regards, Beedy
this is indispensable, I can't use blender without it. This is great for animators, as well, who have to switch between operations quickly and seamlessly. This cuts down the barrier between my brain and achieving what I want, so it's awesome.
