You are not alone. Some months ago I, filed a feature request:
/--------------------------------------
| Add more complex modes of track manipulation:
|      a) Insert an elbow: "______" to  "___/\___"
|      b) Insert a plateau : "______" to "_/---\_"
|      c) Push tracks out of the way, while drawing other tracks.
|         (Like protel99 does)
|      d) Vias should be placed, if a track gets flipped to
|          the other side with the m-key.
|      e) Automagically reduce the size of a track if this is the 
|         only way to wiggle into some tight space. Return to the 
|         original track size when space allows.
\---------------------------------

I noticed, that d) is already present in the current snapshot, but is a 
little buggy. (More details in a one of my next mails). 
Any chance for the other modes?
