Option box visible in basic translations

Question

Hi!
When performing standard translations, I notice that you have the "options box" at lower left corner, with available options (local, global etc). I do not see that box myself. Is it a settings within Preferences?

Sorry I found it!
I used the shortcuts G, S myself, while you were using the Move and Scale tools from the left toolbar.
Lesson learned: the tools on the left triggers the options box, while using hotkeys for move and scale does not (instead all the hotkey alternatives shown at the bottom)

Hi dawid ,

That doesn't sound correct; whether you see that 'Options box' as you call it, is controlled by this checkbox:

You can also bring it up with the F9 Key, then it will appear where your Mouse Pointer is.
