Is there a hotkey or shortcut to change the type of the active transform manipulator?
This site lists
- CtrlAltG for translate
- CtrlAltR for rotation
- CtrlAltS for scale
none of which work for me. Are these the correct current shortcuts?

$\begingroup$ Ok, i swear there used to be a something+space hotkey that popped up a menu which you could then click or hit 1,2,3 to pick from, but all i can find about manipulators at all is the one to toggle it on and off. $\endgroup$– WeaverCommented Nov 29, 2014 at 23:09

First what you linked to is for blender version 2.37 not 2.73, so the shortcuts are wrong.
To add a shortcut to switch the manipulator type; open up the user preferences.
Under the Input tab add a new shortcut under 3D View > 3D View (Global). Type view3d.enable_manipulator in to the identifier field, then just check one of the grayed out boxes for Translate, Scale, and Rotate. The only hard part will be finding 3 unused shortcuts to use for the new transform manipulator shortcuts.
Other transform manipulator shortcuts:
Ctrlspace is the default shortcut to toggle on and of the transform manipulator.
Altspace open a menu to change the orientation type.
When using the buttons in the 3D view header, holding Shift allows for more then one manipulator type to be active at a time.

$\begingroup$ I ended up using ALT+ Numpad 1 for Translate, ALT+ Numpad 2 for Rotate, ALT + Numpad 3 for Scale. Also, ALT+ Numpad 0 to toggle Manipulator (even though default is CTRL + Spacebar) $\endgroup$– WillCCommented Nov 3, 2015 at 3:12

$\begingroup$ Thank you for telling me about the multiple manipulator option with Shift! I find that very useful! $\endgroup$– Isti115Commented Jan 13, 2016 at 14:59
