I've taken just to placing pins to the layer where I'm interacting with everything else. However, if you do this, you still have to switch layers to mask/unmask. Its not a big deal, and doesn't take much prep time. Another thing, if you can't find the approve move command on the radial menu, dotn worry. you can still approve moves with a middle mouse click; I think it just needed the radial menu space for other options.
