Axes Widget?

OK, but what other 'hidden' gems do we have to find ?
The secret-menu item for ray_trace_rendering... etc...
-
Only on a Mac though...

Thanks for your help guys, opted for the shortcut..'by axes'

Two things to add..
First, did i get you guys right that you didn't know about the "axis by material" setting??
If your still searching for where it's to be found- it's in "Styles>Edit>Edges>(bottom)By Color/Axis/Material"..probably i was just too "dooh" to get the point of this tread.
Second, one good thing not to get lost in space is to draw one big rectangle, group it
and give the upper side a different color (if not already by default material.
This way you will know where you are
Another benefit of doing that:
If you're drawing somewhere within space and you're pointing on a object you want to scroll to you may miss it.
Or you're pointing to some lines only (not faces) then it's hard to get where you want to.Sometimes you don't get to the object or only slowly, sometimes you pass by the object way to quick.
(That's why i do it like this and it works pretty well.)
Btw, nice one, Chris.

The Axes tool interrups an operation. So assigning the shortcut sequence to a key allows you to see where blue is pointing at. [Ecs] ends the interruption.
I must admit, not as useful as
toggling 'Color: by axis <> all the same'.I've always wondered why toggling endpoint's visibility on/off isn't available in the 'View' menu, nor in the shortcut list discussed here.
Unlike profiles, depth cue and extentions. It's just missing!
We always have to dig into Window > Styles > Edit > Edge settings to reach it. Or have it saved in a scene. Toggling by pressing one key would help.
(mentioning this at the risk of now being "sentenced" to contribute to the 'Dooh' thread)
