Put the cursor over the trace and type :Report(NetLength)

It tells you which net it is and the length in the message log.

Note that if the trace is not just a single path (i.e. it branches),
you get the sum of all segments on all branches.  Also, polygons
aren't supported.

It's not bound to any hotkeys, but of course you can bind it to
something with the lesstif hid's pcb-menu.res.
