Blender style movement in Illustrator

I've been looking for this solution for a while and am surprised I can't find anything.
If anyone has used 3D Blender software before they would know how pressing "G" will pick up the selected object and that object will follow the movement of your mouse until you click to place. Same with Scale and Rotate.
Illustrator already has a very similar system for scale and rotate which is great, but I've been searching for a script or addon or something, that will allow me to with an object selected press a hotkey and that object will now follow the movement of my mouse until I click to place.

The reason I'd like to have this feature is sometimes when working on complex files, ill find and select an object in the layer panel and then try to click-drag it and almost always end up grabbing and moving a different object... I'm sure many people have had this issue before.

 

Does anyone know of something that exists that would allow me to do this?
