Right-click on rails to rotate them.

This idea is similar to the recent feature where you can right click redstone to change between a cross and a dot. I suggest that if you right-click a rail, in any of its forms, it will rotate 90 degrees. This would be possible regardless of how it is connected to other rails. Rails always face a certain cardinal direction by default and they pick favorites in terms of what they connect to, which can render some complex rail setups impossible. This would fix that issue.

    I wouldn't have it simply rotate but swap through various directions based upon what it can connect to

    I'm guessing you mean, like, a regular rail changing between being curved and being straight?

    Maybe right click to rotate and control + right click to curve/straighten the rail.

    you know you can already do that by placing a powered switch next to it right?
