Interesting context menu. Running through my scenarios with it produces some simple and some complex workflows. This takes some getting used to.

Setting up mono,stereo or multichannel points on the render matrix for columns (Render force X/This region) or rows (Render force X/This track) is a big help. As we don't select points for modification, this is much more helpful than not having these functions. Set up the entire rown/column and click+drag to erase the ones you don't need.

I'd say it's a workaround for now unless you need to have an entire row/column of points on the render matrix.

There are lots of obscure modifier shortcuts one could suggest, but that would just complicate matters. One I'd find interesting is cycling through point configs with the mousewheel, but again that only applies to one point. Adding a modifier to apply to an entire row/column might overcomplicate things.

A step in the right direction IMHO. It took me a minute to find out all I could do with it. I'm guessing selecting points for modification is currently over the horizon.
