Although I really preferred TAB and SHIFT + TAB to go to the next/previous clip boundary respectively, there are good things in this idea that give analogous behaviour for audio and label tracks, so I'm fine to support it (though I do think menu items should be considered for Edit > Move Cursor > To Clip End (and Start) and for Edit > Select > Cursor to Clip End (and Edit > Select > Clip Start to Cursor).
Thanks

- Tab / Shift+Tab
Selects the the next / previous label or clip for editing.
Label tracks currently do this, audio tracks don't.
- Left / Right cursor keys (no selection)
Moves the playback cursor left / right.
Both Label and audio tracks currently do this.
- Left / Right cursor keys (with selection)
Jump to the start / end of the selection.
Both Label and audio tracks currently do this.
- Shift+cursor key
Extend the selected region.

Yes, exactly that.

Sounds reasonable.
