Description

would be really nice if the grips grew/shrunk with zoom level though. its hard moving my objects around with tiny grips

The only question here is how to determine the zoom level. Maybe something like "distance from the camera to the object's origin * a = scale of gizmo" and a being a constant to ensure the gizmo looks roughly the same size.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the gizmo implementation and the camera or zoom handling, then determine how distance from the object's origin should affect grip size; done means grips remain usable and appear roughly consistent across zoom levels.
