This feature has been desired for some time:
- https://rightclickselect.com/p/ui/Tqbbbc/allow-navigating-while-transforming (See comments);
- D1583;
- T37427;
In short, blocking navigation during transform limits the user to move the object only to visible areas within the screen and hinders the allocation of objects within closed meshes.
The node editor is also impaired because some nodes are far between them and the connectors are too small.
The only disadvantage of this patch (as I see it) is the conflict with the existing key map:
MIDDLEMOUSE:
- enable axis constrain in 3D view;
WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY:
- change the threshold of the proportional edit;
So the patch solution was to change these keymaps:
- MIDDLEMOUSE to Alt+MIDDLEMOUSE;
- WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY to Alt+(corresponding key);
When you use this new keymap for the first time in the proportional edit, it may seem strange due to the custom of using it (both in View2D and View3D).
But quickly the user gets used to it.
Alternatively we can add an option to the user preferences ([] Allow navigating while transforming). (I'm not much fan of this option).
The patch was done on branch2.8. But maybe it's a good idea to apply it to 2.79

Make the "xform" tool/gizmo available for strip transformations in the
sequencer preview window.
Because of the amount of hacks needed to make the gizmo work nicely with
multiple strips at the same time, it was decided to only show the
translate gizmo when multiple strips are selected.
This is because the transforms with multiple strips would appear buggy
because of our lack of shearing support in the transform system.
There is also currently no way to properly sync the gizmo drawing with
the transform when using multiple strips.

- Use 2D cursor in the preview space using shortcuts
matching the UV editor and 3D view.
- Add Cursor tool, cursor transform.
- Support for cursor and bound-box pivot.

This allows a hack to be removed that temporarily overwrote
the 3D views gizmo display flag.
Also reverse change from fb27a9bb98
that runs poll on modal gizmo groups as there is some risk
that the poll function unlinks the gizmo.
- New operator property to toggle edge panning in the keymap:
This is disabled by default to avoid edge-panning in cases where it
gets distracting, such as adding a new node. Only the explicit
translate operator(s) (GKEY or drag) have this enabled now.
- Restore the initial view rect on edge pan cancel:
The initial view rect is now stored in the edge pan operator data.
When an operator with edge panning is cancelled it can now call the
`UI_view2d_edge_pan_cancel` function to restore the original View2D
rect.
- Less delay in node editor scrolling:
Delay is useful when scrolling through long lists, such as in the
outliner, but makes node scrolling feel sluggish and unresponsive.
The lower scroll speed here makes a faster response the better option.
- Zoom influence feature:
Somewhat slower scrolling in UI-space when zoomed out. With the 0.5
zoom influence factor nodes behave as if zoom factor is halved,
otherwise it gets too fast when zoomed out. Previously scrolling would
always be constant-speed in UI space, now it's half-way between UI
space and node (view) space.
`t->values` does not necessarily represent a final value of the
transformation, as each mode treats this value differently.
So, unfortunately, we cannot have a generic offset solution for modal
transform operations. Offset needs to be handled by each mode.
Note: Currently only, `Move`, `Rotate` and `Resize` support this.
When activated in modal, `translate`, `resize`, `rotate`, `shear` and
`edge_rotate_normal` use a different orientation than the set in scene.
This orientation needed to match since some of these modes can be switched
during operation.
The default orientation for these modes was `V3D_ORIENT_VIEW`.
And this changed when finishing the `translate` and `resize` to
`V3D_ORIENT_GLOBAL`.
But this could cause inconsistencies when inputting values from the
keyboard.
The solution now is to change the orientation when you change the mode.
---
Note: Although the user can expect the value entered to reflect the
orientation set in the scene, it would require a lot of changes and would
not be really useful.
The "orient_matrix" parameter was only used when contraint was defined.
This change will hardly be noticed by the user, but it can be useful for
addon developers.
Possibly resolves T85734.
Currently, `createTransData` is doing much more than the name implies.
This commit makes it clearer through smaller and more specific functions
what the real purpose of that function.
The local orientation chosen was that of the active object, but as
confirmed in other parts of the code, the orientation of the selected
Bone has priority.
The code takes many turns to get a suitable "target" for the snap to grid.
Perhaps there were other reasons awaited for `transformCenter_from_type`
and `TransCenterData center_cache[5]`.
But since nothing is defined, it is better to simplify the code.
No user functional changes
The rotation direction was flipped recently.
This meant that rotation on a single axis gave negative results compared
with previous Blender releases.
This partially reverts a9b53daf23.

This patch is the result of the GSoC 2020 "Editing Grease Pencil Strokes
Using Curves" project. It adds a submode to greasepencil edit mode that
allows for the transformation of greasepencil strokes using bezier
curves. More information about the project can be found
here: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/User:Filedescriptor/GSoC_2020.
This was the behavior in old versions of blender.
During a transformation operation, when pressing a contrain key, the chosen
orientation is that of the scene.
If you press the same key, the orientation changes to Global or Local.
However, if you choose another contrain axis with the orientation changed,
the orientation does not return to the set for the scene.
It remains Global or Local.
Now when changing a contrain axis, no matter what the current orientation is,
it always returns to the scene orientation.
This adds XYZ symmetry as a property of meshes and updates all modes to
use the mesh symmetry by default to have a consistent tool behavior
between all modes and when switching objects.
