One-key toggle for muting and unmuting clips.

Rather than using H and Alt H to mute and unmute clips, it would be handy to also have a single keyboard key that a person could press to alternate between mute and unmute.

This would speed up processes like complex masking. Then you could very quickly show and hide the mask to see what's underneath it while tweaking mask start-stop positions in the video.

Is it a toggle? Or does it always mute, and always unmute?

If I select some strips that are muted and some unmuted, what happens when I press the key, does it invert their state or makes them all muted and then all unmuted?

H always mutes, and Alt H always unmutes. There is no toggle. If strips are already muted and I press H nothing happens. This screws with my head every time. I keep expecting it to unmute.

Every strip does have separate Mute property in the sidebar, which is not the same property that H and Alt H change, which is super weird. Why does strips have two ways of muting them? two properties? And you can have both on, thats the weirdest.

Current H and Alt H should be removed completely, H should be assigned to boolean that is in the sidebar, and Alt H should unmute all/selected strips
