Sometimes I accidently have a 1 or 2 frame gap between multiple clips on one track or multiple tracks. I know how to remove a gap between two clips if I can find it. But how do I remove all gaps on a track at the same times rather than searching for possible gaps.

The easiest way is to prevent this is to enable the Snap to option in Preferences so every clip will always directly touch the next clip when you place it on the timeline, regardless of the timeline's zoom level:

To remove existing gaps, there's no automated tool but I think the quickest way would be to zoom in quite a bit then click on a clip and hit the End key to instantly go to its final frame. If there's no gap, click on the next clip and repeat. If there is a gap, right-click and use one of the two Remove and Move options:
