Bug Description
Currently, the W / Ctrl + W hotkey to modify the track width only works when routing. It should also work when a segment / track / net is selected. The only way is to edit (E) the track properties and use the combo box inside this dialog, which is pretty tedious.

I agree there should be a proper hotkey for adjusting the width of selection (or under the cursor).
FYI, you can currently use the "Edit action changes track width" to enable a grandfathered legacy behaviour and co-opt the "E" key to set the track width to the current active width in the drop-down (which you *can* set with W/Ctrl-W).
