Description
Issue type
UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Select a staccato dot
- 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.
