Feature Request: Keyboard shortcuts for Solo/Mute track controls

Use case:
When working with multi-track projects, it would be extremely useful to
have assignable keyboard shortcuts to Solo or Mute individual tracks
during playback, allowing for quick A/B comparisons without interrupting
the playback or using the mouse.

Current limitation:
Solo and Mute can only be controlled via mouse clicks on the track
header buttons. There are no keyboard shortcuts available in the
Keyboard Preferences for these functions.

Proposed solution:

  • Add Solo/Mute commands to the keyboard shortcut preferences
  • Optionally: Allow cycling through tracks with hotkeys (e.g., Solo
    next track, Solo previous track)

You can create a keyboard shortcut to mute a track, but I suspect it will only work on the currently selected track. If you end up having to click a track to select it first, you might as well just click the [Mute] button.
