How to select the current chord with a keyboard shortcut?

• Oct 25, 2022 - 19:38

I've been using musescore more and more lately, and I try to work with shortcuts more, but one struggle is selecting a chord without the mouse, as I compose mainly for piano only.

I use this to copy little parts over and having to press N, shift+click, N, isn't fast

I've looked trough the shortcuts and handbook and couldn't find it and I don't know if there's a shortcut

If there isn't, ill try to code a plugin for this myself

The fact that you mention pressing N suggests to me you are in note input mode. Are you simply trying to repeat the just-entered chord? No need to select anything to do that - just press "R".

Well, you can't select anything in note input mode, or execute commands that require range selections. So no shortcut to select a chord would be meaningful. But I also don't understand - if you are repeating 1-8 measures, why are you in note input mode? Simply select those measures normally in normal mode, no need to first select a single chord. Eg, click first measure, shif+click last, then press "R". No single chord selection or note input mode involved at all.
