The ability to move tracks along their central axis rather than along the global axes
Right now you can use the arrow keys to move a track piece along the X or Y axes precisely. It'd be fantastic to be able to move a track piece that is at a θ° angle as if an axis went right through the center of the track, parallel to the direction of the track. That would allow one to move the bumpers at the ends of a ladder, but still keep the bumpers aligned with the switches so that one could use the "connect with sectional track" feature.
Not currently planned.

(the same way that "shift" now axis-aligns the move when dragging)

Bonus points if you could do this with the mouse, too, or if you could then snap the track piece you are moving such that it is aligned with the last bumper you moved, so they all end up in the same place when you're making a ladder.
