[Avid-L2] [FR] - Track Height Resize Thoughts

1-
For some reason, in the long EOL'd Avid Express Pro it was possible to resize a track without having to hold the opt/alt key, while in MC you have to. Can this be implemented in MC? Or, even better, provide a Timeline Setting to toggle the behavior on or off. It could be labeled something like: "Use Opt/Alt Modifier to Resize Tracks." When checked you get the current (traditional) behavior, and when unchecked you get the Express Pro behavior.

I would love a menu choice in the Timeline Fast Menu (which I would then map to a key) that would "Fit All Tracks to Window Height." The idea being that no matter what track height states my various tracks were in (some wide, some narrow, some medium), I could press this and they would all be made the identical width, and would all be made to fit within the current height of the Timeline Window . . . And before you say: "Make a Timeline View" the idea is that a lot of times I'm turning waves on for one track or another, Volume graphing for some, etc. and changing track heights randomly. This would be a welcome feature for a quick height adjustment _without having to reconfigure the other track features_. I will admit that having a variety of Timeline Views does cover this, but this would provide users with a useful option.

Tangentially related:
I'm so influenced by the Adobe apps, that I think it would be nice to be able to get a hand icon to be able to scroll-drag through the Timeline, in similar way that I can hold the Spacebar in Photoshop and pan an image (complete with the inertia effect). I know the Spacebar can't be assigned for that in MC, but what about Opt+Cmd/Alt+Ctrl? That is/was the command for panning in some other windows in MC (e.g. Effects Display Window when zoomed-in).

Cheers,

Benjamin
