Pcbnew: How to use a straigt track?

Layout
1

Hello,
is there a way to draw a straight track? I am arranging chained components in a circle. To connect the chain, it would be nice to use straight track, which goes in whatever angle is needed, instead of in steps of 45°, as they aren’t esthetic in this case and complicates the layout.

However I wasn’t able to find out, how to do that. In Eagle it was simple - there was a toggle button.

Go to Preferences=>General and deselect Limit tracks to 45 degrees. Then do your routing using the Legacy mode (hit F9). You’ll be able to route your tracks at any angle.
