…if implemented, along with transient keys, I will use this ‘mode’ as default.

If implemented along with transient keys I will use also this mode by far (and as default will just be logic) !
I hope sidefx team understand that this is not to just feel confortable as we come from softimage and this will be same behavior, but because it's a (the most I've seen over other app for now) far more efficient and productive way to manipulate objects in 3d viewport (and the houdini middle click, just to list one, is a plus of course) !

I can understand if it's not necessarily obvious for sidefx team to realise and we probably need to make more videos to explain how it works and what artist's productivity impact is.

Cheers

Here you can find a gif that show how it works (and how it's efficient !) on softimage.
I will make an RFE with this if it's clear enough, otherwise I will make a video (tell me).

Cheers

Hi, I'm 100% agree about this not convinced default behavior and hopefully yes, “secure selection” is a good mode.
But we need more !
For example, with “secure selection” mode, It would be really really accommodating and more productive to allow us to translate an object without need to select the manipulator.
If I need to place a far away selected object(s) to a specific place (with a simple snap clic on another object for example) (cf. “manipulate.jpg”).

All the best
