constraining axis of movement for move tool?

[ktpr]

found the manipMoveContext command but there doesn't seem to be a way to use it through the UI.

ideally I'd like to do something like:
(I have the move tool selected)
manipMoveContext;
//Press x:
manipMoveContext -e -ah 0 manipMoveContext1;
// now I can only move along x

// press n for move along normal:
manipMoveContext -e -mode 3;

and so forth, while having these commands directly affect my current move manipulator.

the default manipMoveContext is named Move, so you just edit that one: manipMoveContext -e -ah 0 Move;

thanks. How did you find out that the default move manip was named "move". It makes sense but...

cheers
