Accessing knowledge base.

Reading docs about In Flux PCB layout, can I change the width of a trace while still routing that path? What are the steps and keyboard shortcuts to adjust track width mid-route, including using the toolbar or Inspector, and does rules-driven design constrain it?.

Checking routing width adjustments.

Reading docs about While interactively routing a trace in the PCB editor, can I change the track width mid-route? Is there a hotkey or toolbar control that works during routing?.

Conducting targeted searches.

Preparing the final answer.

Yes.
This is what the Flux documentation says about the topic:
"Defines a set of widths which will show up in the Context Menu for easy access. The keyboard shortcut W will cycle through the set. Example 1: Suppose you know you will be alternating between routing power traces and data traces. Add the Preferred Trace Width Rule to the Object-specific Rules of the Nets object located in the Objects panel. Then, in the entry box input the desired widths of these two types of traces, (150um and 500um for example). When routing, press w to easily alternate between these trace widths."
