Description

Your idea

During Figured Bass entry, allow clicks on the duration icons in the notation toolbar to act as if an "advance cursor" command with that duration was given. Currently clicking on the duration icon during Figured Bass entry seems non-functional.

Problem to be solved

On AZERTY keyboards on MacOS without a keypad some of the default Advance cursor commands (Cmd+number) collide with default system shortcuts as AZERTY requires Shift+symbol for numeric entry from top row.

While changing the MuseScore (or system) shortcut assignments can avoid this situation, having an additional method to trigger these commands could be nice.

Prior art

No response

Additional context

This would likely also be a good idea during Chord Symbol entry
