Er, wait... is this a request for a "gizmo" to move, rotate, or scale (around object center or object origin)?
Something like this:

That would be fantastic to have! (even better, snap it to the current model unit... then you can do precise movements without having to post-enter VCB units every time)

I created the gizmo model for an external editor using SketchUp [see file attachment]
