Feature request: Native functionality for muting/disabling and unmuting/enabling individual audio clips

Dear Audacity team,

Thanks for giving to the community such a wonderful tool, which I have been using multiple times.

One of the things I am constantly missing is the possibility to easily disable / mute individual audio clips and then easily enable / unmute them as needed. It could be via some small UI control on the clip, accessible also via a keyboard shortcut on a focused clip.

I’ve read about various workaround proposals, which are all inconvenient to use, especially when one needs to focus on the important stuff and not on time-consuming inconvenient manipulations.

My request:
In case adding that (seemingly simple) functionality would not be too difficult to implement, I’d very much appreciate having that as a native Audacity functionality.

Thanks!
