In addition, you can adjust the size of existing tracks with the "s" and
"S" keyboard short-cuts when hovering over an existing track. (This
works with other elements too).

When placing tracks, you can adjust the widths with the "l" and "L"
keyboard short-cuts.

You should see the new track sizes listed in the status bar. "Ctrl+R"
over an object gives you a report which will include its current width.

If you fancy changing size on a number of selected objects, select them
and execute an action.

":" brings up the command window / entry on the status bar.

ChangeSize(selectedlines, 25, mil)
or
ChangeSize(selectedlines, 2, mm)

Whatever..
