Chord entry by name
It should be possible to enter chord by typing their name.
For example, in Note entry mode, maybe I can open a dialog box and I can type the chord name.
For example,
"Fm7" would give me an F minor 7th chord.
"Fm" would give me an F minor triad.
Of course you can also have augmented, diminshed and suspended chords.
Finally, similar to individual notes, you can use Ctrl + Up/Down Arrow to move the entire chord up or down an octave.
Thanks.

This is already possible, see http://musescore.org/en/handbook/chord-name

That gives you the chord name or chord symbol, but not the full set of notes forming that chord.
There's a file, chords.xml, which contains the notes forming these chords, but a) it is incomplete and not 100% correct and b) this part of it's information isn't used at all by MuseScore, nor is it available to the plugin framework.
