They are not equivalent.
- hotkey X  switches the current tool to "place track mode" and starts
a track from the cursor position (therefore the cursor is expected to be
on the right location)
- click on menu switch the current tool to "place track mode", but does
not start a track

This is the reason one cannot use "Place<tab>X" instead of "Place (X)"
(there are other places in menus where the case happens: in zoom menu
for instance)

(I never found a reliable and easy way to know if a menu event was
created by clicking on a menu, or from its hotkey)
