Hm, you could create 2 macros (with two steps):
1. clip left (the other macro for right)
2. one of the preview commands (e.g. control+shift F6 which plays in
the vicinity of the left selection boundary/cursor)
I also made a plug-in "Latency info" which gives you the alignment
offset in ms for two selected tracks.
I should probably update it, now that we have tool plug-ins.

Huge thanks! I believe I understand this. How then does moving clips
intersect with "align tracks" on the track menu? What kind of matrix
does Audacity attempt to align tracks? Do they get aligned by first
transient?

Nifty.

Well, we can't have everything. Using this method, I imagine that
experimenting with the clip alignment between both tracks would take
lots of time, since I'd have to wait for each instance of the clip
left or right to complete.
