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.

#### 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),

- Replace `SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` with `RIGHTARROW` in Freestyle UI
- Remove references to `SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC` and `ICON_SMALL_TRI_RIGHT_VEC`.

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.

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.
Now that object assets are no longer considered experimental, the Assets
submenu can always be shown (regardless of the Extended Asset Browser
experimental feature).
In the 3D Viewport, add an "Assets" submenu to the Objects menu, for the
same operators as available in the outliner: Mark as Asset, Clear Asset,
Clear Asset (Set Fake User).
Since object assets are still considered experimental, the menu is only
shown when the Extended Asset Browser experimental feature is enabled.
The also moves all the image operators into one menu.
The goal here is to expose the operators in the UI so they
work with the operator search and to make the UI consistent.

* Open File Browser when pressing "Add Asset Library". This just makes sense,
since users have to select a directory for the asset library anyway.
* Move '+' icon back to the right side of the box. Then it is right under the
'x' icons for each indivdual library, which seems like the more natural
place.
* Correct tooltip for the "Add Asset Library" operator.
* Mark empty asset library name or paths field in red, to make clear that these
need to be set.
Adds a filter popup to the header that allows specifiying which data-block
types to show. The menu automatically reflects all supported ID types, so it
shows a checkbox for materials, worlds and actions currently by default, and
all ID types with the "Extended Asset Browser" experimental feature enabled.
The checkboxes integrate better with the surrounding layout and are not that
attention grabbing. To my knowledge the only reason not to use checkboxes was
so the icons could be displayed. But this does it just like the Outliner filter
settings: Show the icon before the checkbox.
Also widen the popover a bit to fit longer labels (didn't fit before this patch
even).
Camera, lattice and speaker object types were missing there own proper
`USER_DUP_` flags, leading to not properly handling duplication of their
object data.
NOTE: We could probably simply opions here, by using categories (like
'GEOMETRY', 'SHADING', etc.) instead of exact object types. But this is
beyond bugfix scope.
Updates UI code so that we can enable the asset UI for specific data-block
types by default, i.e. irrespective of the "Extended Asset Browser"
experimental feature.
"Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" are always visible in the Outliner context
menu now, but are grayed out if not applicable and show a disabled hint in the
tooltip.
A known side-effect of this: The "Mark as Asset" and "Clear Asset" operators
are enabled for action data-blocks now, even though only pose actions created
through the Pose Libraries add-on are supported. If this is something worth
addressing is being discussed still.

The reason to include both changes as part of one patch is that the dimmed dashed lines work much better together with colored wires.

* Show asset path in a (read only) text button. Makes it possible to see the
full path in the tooltip, brings support for copying the path and integrates
better with the sourrounding layout. Previous label needed lots of space to
show the full path without clipping.
* Remove "Details" panel, it only contained one item (description). That is
moved next to the name and asset path button.
* Use property split layout for name source and description buttons. Now that
there are multiple buttons, it's better to have a label for them.
* Always show operators for asset previews, just gray them out if not
applicable instead of hiding. Keeps the layout consistent and graying out is
less confusing than hiding UI elements.
