Some things work slightly differently in V5 (today's nightly here):
- T shortcut selects components regardless of visible layers. Could you shoot a movie showing the issue in case I misunderstood you?
- E can be used to modify track widths, but you need to enable it in "Preferences->Pcbnew->Edit action changes track width".
- Modal dialog with track properties can be used to change track widths (confirmed on my machine)
- The RMB menu while moving is gone, but nobody complained about it so far... We can bring it back.
- No clearance outline on dragging is a genuine bug, thanks for reporting it!
- No motion event is needed for the W shortcut to work (5.1.0-rc2).
- I don't fully understand your last point. Is it related to the fact that the trace snaps to the center of the capacitor pad automatically? If so, hold Shift while routing, this disables the snapping and lets you position traces arbitrarily close to pads.
PS. Which version of Kicad do you have? 5.1.0-rc2 has everything except for the RMB menu and clearance outlines on drag...
