Creating an in-game axis mover

Hi!

I am working on some kind of level editor and I need to make a axis mover thing so they can move my object. The object should work like the one in the editor. But I do not know how I could do this. Like hold down and drag to move it in one axis depending on what arrow you are clicking. Do anyone know how I could start on something like this?

Thanks in advance!

Something like this might work:

"Click" item, or some user gesture that indicates they want to move that item
Unhide/show three arrow gameobjects that are aligned to the objects local forward, right, and up
If a user raycast hits one of these arrows, followed by a drag, translate that object using the arrows direction multiplied by the vector representing the direction of the drag (from last known position to current position)
