Why do you think they wouldn't make sense in the main menu? That's where we put them in SoundEdit 16.
A design point: you should not have any operations that can't be invoked using a mouse. So you should have a button or menu for these commands of yours.

Given the number of tags users add over several hundred pages, it is
much faster to just point with the mouse, hit a key, and have the
software enter a tag with a default length that can be modified later if
need be. If all the keyboard shortcuts for adding/deleting tags and
paging are single letters/numbers grouped for one hand, that leaves the
other hand free to point.
They'll go into context menus for sure, but no one would use them in the
main menu.
