So when you rotate an object and you view it directly on axis you can't see some of the rotation circles or arrows. I know if you turn off translate you can see them.
Would it be possible to make it so you can hold down the control or alt key while in this mode to temporarily turn off translate. Would save a few steps in being able to rotate objects; keeping you from having to mouse over to the menue, deactivate, then rotate a bit, then mouse over and reactivate, over and over again or having to change the angle of the camera.
Just a thought.
