hide Manipulator

IStonia can you pleas add function to hide Manipulator on viewport navigation?
When you want to preview model when navigating that Manipulator is so annoying.

just press "Q"

Every time when I start navigating viewport  ?

depends on your usage, I don't actually use the manipulators I just use streamlined tools. Except for scale.

PS. I thought you where only asking for 1 time to view the object, not on navigation haha sometimes I skip reading things ...

I also use stremline tools for moving/scal/rotate but I started to use Manipulator becouse I have to see where it stay I need it very often for precision manipulation. When it is hidden you always have to guess where it stays...
I made it very small and now everything is ok! But it stay on when you start to navigate. I use navigate to preview model, I have tourned off edges/vertexes on viewport navigation but that manipulator still here

well if you want a precise movement without the manipulator, you could enable increment movements and add a tweak axis streamline.

tweak axis- What is it?

it constrain your tweak move to an axis depending on the position of your cursor.

Arvin,
there is no such tool like Tweak Axis, there are Move Axis or Move Plane.
Anyway there are so many situation when increment movements and Move by Axis is not enough. For example if you want to flatten polys or move them to some vertex and many more. You can make it without manipulator just cheeking this window,


but it is much more conviniet to also monitor where manipulator stay. I not use it to move it but more only for watching, that is why I made it so small.

Well I guess tools for different needs yeah I meant Move Axis haha it was to long ago I bind it to a key so I forgot it already.
