This feature has been desired for some time:
- https://rightclickselect.com/p/ui/Tqbbbc/allow-navigating-while-transforming (See comments);
- D1583;
- T37427;
In short, blocking navigation during transform limits the user to move the object only to visible areas within the screen and hinders the allocation of objects within closed meshes.
The node editor is also impaired because some nodes are far between them and the connectors are too small.
The only disadvantage of this patch (as I see it) is the conflict with the existing key map:
MIDDLEMOUSE:
- enable axis constrain in 3D view;
WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY:
- change the threshold of the proportional edit;
So the patch solution was to change these keymaps:
- MIDDLEMOUSE to Alt+MIDDLEMOUSE;
- WHEELDOWNMOUSE, WHEELUPMOUSE, PAGEUPKEY, PAGEDOWNKEY to Alt+(corresponding key);
When you use this new keymap for the first time in the proportional edit, it may seem strange due to the custom of using it (both in View2D and View3D).
But quickly the user gets used to it.
Alternatively we can add an option to the user preferences ([] Allow navigating while transforming). (I'm not much fan of this option).
The patch was done on branch2.8. But maybe it's a good idea to apply it to 2.79

Add the "Convert Old Pose Library" operator to the old pose library (in
the Armature properties editor). This makes it more discoverable; before
it only was available in the Action editor.
The Cycles accurate mode was removed, but the Eevee option for this has
a different meaning and should not have been removed. The Eevee accurate
makes cryptomatte accumulate for every sample, which Cycles has always
done regardless of any option.
Add a new "experimental" debug option `show_asset_debug_info`, and use
that to determine the visibility of the active asset's catalog UUID and
simple name. Previously this was only determined by the "Developer
Extras" option, which meant it was visible in too many situations. It's
not really a "developer extra", and really just a debugging tool, so the
new option is more in line with its purpose.

Refreshing the assets requires `file_OT_asset_library_refresh` in the
asset browser, and `asset_OT_list_refresh` for the asset view. Both
are now done from `ASSET_OT_open_containing_blend_file`.
Support the ability to close relevant characters like '(', '[' and '{'.
It will also delete the pair character if they're empty.

#### Motivation
The View pie menu is a convenient way to access operators such as `Frame Selected` and `Frame All` which are usually mapped to `PERIOD` or `HOME` keys on the right side of most keyboard, making it hard hard to reach with the left hand.
The motivation for this patch comes from working with a 75% keyboard (no numpad). Most laptops face a similar problem.
#### Implementation
The View pie menu has been added to the following editors and sub-modes where applicable:
* Node Editor
* Video Sequencer
* Dopesheet
* Graph
* NLA
* Image
* Clip
* Outliner
More options could definitely be added to this menu for convenience, as long as it maintains the common options in the same place (Frame Selected on the left, Frame All on the right).
For positioning I went with the following layout:
{F11791186, size=full}
I've added `Zoom 1:1`to the Image Editor and the VSE Preview since there is no way to reset the zoom on keyboards without numpad (unless Emulate Numpad is turned on).
The Outliner uses `Show Active` and `Show Hierarchy` which are the closest ones to the equivalent in other editors. Should `Show Active` be renamed to `Frame Selected`?
The shortcut assigned is the same as the 3D Viewport (`ACCENT_GRAVE`).

Because the menus list several gizmo visibility settings it makes grammatical sense that the panel name is plural.
This also matches the "Overlays" menu.
Since the recent change to context paths to use the arrow icon instead of the triangle (D13106),
the `SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC`is no longer used. This patch removes the icon and all references.
- Replace `SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` with `RIGHTARROW` in Freestyle UI
- Remove references to `SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` and `ICON_SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC`.
Fix for built-in add-ons has been done in rBAcc2f71bfe9b0/rBAa84028f8a89a.

Expose transform tools when in weight paint mode with pose-mode enabled,
displaying transform tools in the toolbar, as is already done in
object & pose mode.
These are only shown when weight-paint + pose mode are active at once.
This allows single key-strokes to activate tools, needed when
tool-access is set as the default action for G/R/S key bindings.

Even never-shown RNA properties should have at least a description, as
this is used by API doc generation scripts.
NOTE: this is more of an opportunistic set of changes than a proper
complete fix of that loack of documentation.
The name and tooltip were talking about file-lists, which exposes the
fact that the Asset Browser uses the File Browser code in the UI, which
we shouldn't do. This can confuse users.
Instead have a dedicated operator for the Asset Browser with a proper
name and tooltip.

Before this, the search button was quite small really, not much text would fit
into it. Increase the size a bit, but not too much to still make the layout
work in smaller area sizes.
These nodes allow accessing and changing the stable/random ID used
for motion blur with instances and stable randomness.
Since rB40c3b8836b7a, the stable ID is a built-in attribute, so to be
consistent and allow changing it in the node tree like other built-in
attributes, it has get and set nodes.
Now that object assets are no longer considered experimental, the Assets
submenu can always be shown (regardless of the Extended Asset Browser
experimental feature).
