Here’s a video I made ages ago, I’m afraid the sound’s pretty awful:
Maybe @Woolfy13’s example is better
The difference with Blender’s system is that in Blender you hold mmb within a rotation/translation/scale tool, you get these three axis’ you can move your mouse over, and that selects an axis. But it’s much more prone to failure, and in my experience a lot less quick.
I also set up Q to toggle manipulators on and off, but holding Q puts me in a tool where I can move (and snap) the working manipulator (so, your 3d cursor in Blender)
Hitting and releasing W turns on my move manipulator, but holding W has other options. W+lmb is tweak (with a selection, clicking and dragging anywhere moves those selected components, without a selection you can move the highlight-selected components!), w+rmb is the aforementioned tool that moves on an axis, and w+mmb moves along a plane (so x+y etc.)
I also set w+mb4 and mb5 (the side buttons on a lot of mice) to move along normal and move along the mesh (so like G+G in Blender). It’s an incredibly useful way to work and I miss it so much
