Blender Course in Progress!
I'm so excited! Working on a low poly / Basic modeling course that teaches the basics of blender in really fun and practical ways! I'm having so much fun! I'll let you know updates as I have them!

Confused
Hi all. I was watching a tutorial the other day and the guy said, select the default cube and press G to move objects around. When he pressed G he was able to freely move the cube by moving his mouse. When I select the cube and press G the move gizmo appears on the cube and I have to select one of the arrows, or the center yellow dot to move it. Is there a way to set my interface to behave like his. Many thanks. Martin.

Hey Casey, thanks for your time with this. It was a key map issue. A while ago I downloaded an addon called 'Lazy Viewport" (sounded like just what I needed!!) I disabled the addon, and now G grabs the object and it moves freely with the mouse. All the other shortcuts now work as expected too. R, then Z or Y or X now rotates along the the selected axis by just moving the mouse. It's like magic. Thanks again.

Also....
Also, he said that clicking R to rotate, then Z, will constrain the rotate to the Z axis. When I do that and click Z I just get a flyout menu of the viewport shading options: Wireframe, Solid, material preview and rendered?????
