This tool will add functionality to the grid helper to mimic working pivot.
But there is more option which WP not have ...
Install:

changed according to one of two options "Align Object|Grid on Grid|Object Pivot"
* Also grid can be ligned to active view or view to grid
(in this case grid will be activated and Reference Coordinate System changed to #Grid)
* "Place Grid On Surface" option allows you to place grid over geometry or home grid.

Thanks!

thanks
ah, thanks, I'll do that,
But is is slowing down a lot, even for one small operation ? (for eg. align grid to current view)
I'm still beginning with scripts and didn't test undo a lot.
Best,
...
You already know that this can slowdown this tool.
You can always save temp preset and delete it afterwards ;)

hmm
hmm, but maybe one suggestion...
It will be great to just to add "undo on" for buttons.
Thanks !
