Description
Your idea
There should be an option to have the mouse working in "normal" mode when entering notes using the keyboard.
Now, when using the mouse to select a MuseScore option, I find myself "dragging" around with a note under the cursor.
Esc, solves that, but an option in preferences (note input?) would be of help.
Problem to be solved
No problem, just an idea.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how keyboard note input, mouse selection, and the note-input preferences currently interact. Done would require a defined preference that keeps the mouse in normal mode while keyboard note input is active, with behavior agreed by maintainers and coverage for the resulting interaction.
