3D modelling_Hold X, Y axis issue

Not applicable
Hello fellow expert users,

something has been bothering me for long time and finally decided to vent it out.
When I model in 3D I always struggle to keep the cursor on the axis or angle I chose to and pressing 'shift' does not help at all. I've taken a short video to show what I mean.
What am I doing wrong? This can't be right!

Cheers in advance.

..just realized I can't upload videos here 😕 tried to rename the file but it's too large (13Mb)

Hope you know what I mean.

THANK YOU Minh.

Tried, still not working. I've taken another video now, this morning seems even more unrealistically unworkable. There must be something wrong in what I'm doing.
I have taken videos of me trying to hold either X or Y axis with no success in both perspective view (using 2 different lens angles) and axonometry. Can upload for you together with the latest pla file.
If you could provide us with a secure place for the upload would be fantastic.
Cheers, Claudio
