MSRE has one or two useful cursor changes, such as an 'arrow cross' when in transform/ xyz placement mode etc. It helps to remind me what tool I'm currently using. In TSRE, I am forever accidentally placing a new object rather than selecting as I forget to check the buttons!

Would it be possible to consider something similar, for perhaps xyz transform, rotate, place new and select?

I second this, especially if the 'paint' type cursors can show how big an area we're going to effect.

Me too. I often find track that was moved only because it was in a selected state and I was moving on to another task. I think it might be one of the more important changes to make.

Sketchup is a good example to look at: function specific cursors for rotate and pan the camera and different pair of cursors for rotate and pan of objects.

The following suggestion:
After pressing the E key only the selection of objects is possible.
You can only move objects after pressing the T key.
