Agreed, however, after the first four options, others
were simply tacked on at the end without much ordering
though.

IMHO, Campbell's mockup (1) isn't so bad, if it would
use the following order instead, keeping the (IMHO)
most used options the same, I'd say that's a win:

Selection -> Grid
Selection -> Cursor
Selection -> Center
Cursor -> Selection
Cursor -> Grid
Cursor -> Active

Options 1, 2 and 4 match with the current order and
the grouping is more logical.
