Thank you all for those pointers. I suspected as much, and so it looks like off to cpp land I go.
Thank you Tomasz Wlostowski for the pointer into the code base where to start looking for the implementation. Agree - I am only attempting "mark collisions" mode. Personally I never use push/shove or walk around when routing - by never I mean very rarely. The modes just destroy the good look and feel of a PCB. Thanks for the pointer Eeli Kaikkonen to the component/part dragging issue. I did observe this issue too on the drag when I played with pcbnew, but that is not something that I want to tackle first up. That is one nasty problem, of which I am not interested in attempting to solve right now. The nastiness comes from footprints can have many trace orientations and what to do to drag the component is non-obvious.
