Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Description with steps to reproduce
  1. Select a staccato dot
  2. Press shift-S to remove it

Expected: note is selected (as if you pressed delete)

Actual: no selection

The same issue affects other things that are attached to notes, and can be toggled with a shortcut key: accent, marcato, tenuto, flat, sharp, etc.
