No subforum needed. Just ask away with your questions, and someone knowledgeable should respond (usually many someones). We were all newbies with our own questions at some point, so don't be shy, we don't bite (much).

Yes, this function exists in Blender (edit mode), and can activated by shortcut key "g + g" (double letter g tap). There are other ways to activate as well, but it's been so long since I have used anything other than double "g" that I have forgotten. Others might chime in with what those are.

Also, this works for vertex slide as well. Hope this helps...
