Default Option: Razor Edit Area follows item grouping

I find Razor Edits really useful but think they could be improved:
When working with a number of grouped items and creating a razor edit area I have to draw the area across all items in the group. It would make life easier if there was a preference to make razor edits follow item grouping (vertically).

Being new to Reaper I personally find razor edits easier to use than time selection edits and this option would make razor editing quicker whilst also allowing them to be used in the old way.

Encountered this also the other day. Not a big deal if the tracks are next to each other. Tricky if they are not. It would make sense to simply replicate razor edit areas across grouped items while grouped item editing is on.

That would be even better and a more elegant way of implementing it - allowing for easy toggling.

I have found a workaround which does just that:
Script: js_Razor edit - Enclose selected media items and automation items in minimal razor areas.lua by the great js (Julian Sader) - who's fantastic work I am only beginning to discover.

I have assigned this script to my mouse modifiers Alt+Click in the Media Item Bottom Half context.
This will create a razor edit area around the selected media item(s) and also follow item grouping.
As it also works in any automation lane it's a very efficient way of applying/creating automation through the use of razor edits.
