Marked "patch_ready". 

Note that with the extra menu items, it isn't possible to avoid changing some of the access keys unless we were to group some of the menu items, possibly those for the View Mode.

If this patch is accepted then as per http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=226492#p226492 it may be worth considering if the Move Track* commands should scroll to the focused track if necessary (as happens if you mouse-drag a track). Alternatively new commands suggested by Steve 

* View > Selection (zooms and moves to fit as much of the selection as possible in the visible area).

* View > Focus (moves to the track that has focus) 

could be considered.

REOPENED, because nothing has been committed yet that adds the features noted in this enhancement.

Patch made against revision 12803.

Thanks Steve and Richard. I did not notice any ill effects from the refactoring changes in TrackPanel.cpp and TrackPanel.h. 

On Mac and Windows I built the attached patch which adds the new commands to the drop-down menu and changes a few access keys. I tested without any issues so "patch_ready".
