Options: Toggle window docking (Cmd ID 40018)

Mode: Drum Map (Cmd ID 40043)

This is called "Mode: Named notes" in the View menu. It turns the Piano keys on the left side of the MIDI editor into equal rectangles which can be filled with user-friendly names either by the user or automatically by plugins which support it.
Reaper will automatically switch to this mode when View: Hide unused note rows (Cmd ID 40453) or View: Hide unused and unnamed note rows (Cmd ID 40454) are triggered in Piano Roll mode.
