Here's a quick tip. Probably well known, but going to try anyways.

Holding down control during a move/rotate/scale operation temporarily toggles snapping. (Typically controlled by the magnet icon.) And this snapping also works along with XYZ constraints during those operations. So if you have snapping set to nearest face instead of the starting grid setting, you could snap something like a glass onto the top surface of a table while moving it along the Z-axis. Likewise if you have snapping toggled on by the magnet, pressing control temporarily gives you free movement.
