I didn't know about those hotkeys, thank you! However, there are cases, where
those won't fit that good.

Let me explain on specific workflow example:

I have coppied some clip with selection (mouse) and CTRL+C (keyboard). Now we
have something inside clipboard and we want to paste it on different track with
CTRL+V. 

[Keyboard way] 
1) Choose track with keyboard hotkeys (if it fits in 1-9 range) or with arrows.
2) Select specific place by moving horizontal arrows
3) CTRL+V 

[Mouse way] 
1) Select specific place (move playhead) by clicking left mouse button
2) Choose track with mouse by right mouse button (the menu will pop up anyways
and the clicked track will be selected)
3) Use menu (paste)

Usualy I am combining both ways and taking best from each one. So I would like
to do something like this:

[Combined way]
1) Choose placement of playhead with left mouse button.
2) Choose track by mouse click (quick double left mouse click? / just left
mouse click on track selects it by default and moves the playhead at the same
time? )
3) CTRL + V pastes the clip based on where the playhead and which track have
been choosen.

So there is rarely pure mouse or keyboard workflow, people usualy combine both.
Also my current project have 17 video timelines (3 of it is empty for adding
things later), so keyboard way won't fit here and will be too hard to navigate
those 17 from bottom to top. 

Considering the question HOW to chose specific track, I don't know how to do it
exactly. My guess is that just left mouse click could be even better than
double left mouse click (because 1 action VS 2 actions) if there aren't any
conflicts which preventing it from happening.

Also there are problem with playhead positioning when pasting clips. Usualy I
want to paste new clip immideatly after the end of the previous clip on
specific track. So it would be good to have playhead snapping to START and END
of clips when moving playhead with left mouse button (just an idea).
