Displaying Unit's Range

Yes with the I hotkey. You can select the range to be displayed as a circle or as an hexagon in the "DBR colors editor" (page 2 of play-player options)
Also with this button:

Is that only useful for artillery?

AFAIK you can change the colours... if you zoom in, that should do the trick; you know there's no an incremental zoom/un-zoom, aye?
