I disagree. You're not moving the mouse along an axis,
you're moving the mouse on an axis to select it as a
constraint target.

That's just a far fetched way to access different
functionnality. What I'm suggesting is making the two
axis rotation mode (what you call Trackball) a
separate transformation as a whole which would make it
simpler to access.
