Thanks, James.

I only tested on Windows 10 so far. The interaction of the
View menu item for extra menus with its Preference control
and the operation of the menu items, updating their shortcuts
properly, seems fine there.

I wondered in Ext-Command if the Track group should come
after Focus, which would group the focus commands one
after the other.

Of course when the extra items are settled they will have to be
kitted out with access keys. Getting to them is a long haul now by
keyboard.
