in Maya or 3ds Max you have the ability to split your Screen in different Windows along the axes (horizontal,vertrical..). i think this would also help here. it might also be helpful to take a general look at how Maya solves some problems like translating and rotating of objects (changing the mode with the keys 1-4) and the heavy use of definable hotkeys and menues.
great and fascinating "game" btw :)
