Track resizing is just so easy to do with the command-K and L keys. Why do anything else? I disagree about the resize to size of window, because basically, you rarely want the video tracks bigger. You mostly just want the audio tracks resized, but I can see resizing all audio tracks to fill the timeline window. I almost never use the option/drag thing to get a specific size. Mostly I select all tracks and shrink them all to a nice small size, then select just the audio tracks, or just specific audio tracks and size them up with command-L.

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.

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.

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).
