Cheers,
Hiding the state-icons? yes; 
The “hide” checkbox. I should’ve mentioned it in the wiki, but didn’t…
(I will look into the obj align thing)
edit: it works like this: if you point ON the object, it will place the cursor in the center of the face under the mouse. it you have the object selected but point in space, it will match the object rotation. This has multiple use cases in one tool. But i have missed updating docs again 
I think I can add multi object align, sure
