That I want to switch. It ends up being faster than fumbling with the track list.

These are the settings I use, and it always works exactly as it should (and if I understood correctly, exactly as you would like to work, too). Also, the Media Item Lane is one of those features that I first didn't pay attention to, but quickly afterwards became a great way to navigate/edit when working with MIDI (I sometimes even maximize the MIDI editor and navigate the MIDI items in the project using that lane for an extended period of time, instead of visiting the arrangement at all). Routinely editing quite a bit of MIDI in Reaper these days.
