Tedious Tuplet Typing

Consider this:
To write four triplets in a row in a measure of 4/4 time, I must:
1. Press N.
2. Select Quarter Note or press 5.
3. Press ⌘3.
4. Input the 3 notes.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 again, 3 more times.

This is frustratingly tedious. There is no Tuplet Tool to select that would allow me to write consecutive triplets. Instead, users have to select the total space (step 2), the number of notes within that space (step 3), enter the notes (step 4) and repeat this as many times in a row as necessary.

This is quite annoying, as composers of all kinds of music may write many tuplets in a row. Triplets, for example, are probably the most common kind of tuplet and having to write them in this blocky manner slows down the compositional process substantially.

I believe a better flow would be:
1. Press N.
2. Select Quarter Note or press 5.
3. Press ⌘3.
4. Keep typing notes, which will continue to be input as eighth-note triplets each in the space of one quarter note, until pressing ⌘3 again (or something else) to turn tuplet-input off.
