Guideline performance - ortogonal operations very dificult

there should be a quick switch like F8 in autocad, when unconditionally objects move in X or in Y only. It is frustrating to find a right move, to move in 3d views in X or in Y. Orange line (0/45/90...etc) appears at whatever angle it wants and the cursor sticks to it rarely, shift isn't helping much - only when viewing from the high angle.

is working well when moving Nodes (wall ends etc) but when moving whole wall - mission impossible as working plane isn't specified

Could you post a screen shot to illustrate this wish?
Could you post a scenario where the current solution is inadequate in your opinion.
This would make it easier for people to decide whether to support this wish or not.

By the way:
if you press the ALT+X key combination on your keyboard, the cursor becomes locked to a vertical line (X coordinate locked).
If you press the ALT+Y key combination on your keyboard, the cursor becomes locked to a horizontal line (Y coordinate locked).
Another ALT+X or ALT+Y, respectively, unlocks it.
