How to move tracks up or down quickly & smoothly

I use an old Lexicon Opus technique for this,

Select the clips you want to move.
Locate Nuendo’s cursor to the head of the first/earliest clip in the selection
Cut(ctrl X) the clips.
with out moving the cursor
Scroll and select the (top/lowest track numbered) track you want to move the now cut selection to, then Paste (ctrl V) them in.
Hope this is useful.
