Description
Your idea
Having a keyboard shortcut that could jump the focus back to the last used palette item (assuming the palette is open) would be a very effective way for blind users to be able to quickly jump to the palette and not just reuse that exact item, but for example if adding dynamics move up or down 1 or 2 with arrows and select the next dynamic needed. I'm sure it would be useful for sighted users also who like keyboard shortcuts as the palettes are quite slow to navigate through by keyboard currently.
Problem to be solved
A much quicker way for blind users to enter palette items, more similar to a sighted person being able to click something still open right in front of them as navigating back through to the palette is quite slow.
Prior art
No response
Additional context
This shortcut would be in effect very similar to when in MuseScore 3 we used to be able to perform 1 back tab (shift/tab) to land on the open palette.
