Change note duration with mouse wheel

In the linked thread, harbinger made comment https://musescore.org/en/node/284610#comment-898247 which suggested a dedicated mouse input mode. This would be an ideal solution. Changing the function of the mouse wheel for the default Step-time input mode would be very bad.

@mike320 agreed. I thought about having a button next to note input to toggle mouse or keyboard mode. Else it is too deep down and we get a lot of complaints that "I can't input notes with the mouse/keyboard (whatever is the default)."

I am not so sure a new input mode is such a good idea. For one thing, it would be hard to discover. And if worked by stealing the scrolling functioning, it would then be just as inefficient as the current mouse method - it just changes which operation is inefficient (change duration versus scroll).

I continue to prefer the idea of right-click to pop up a menu that includes an "add rest" command and also most of the contents of the note input toolbar. Or, if another gesture could perform that function. Or other creative solutions to the problem. Because I do agree it should be easier to change duration by mouse than it currently is.

Does Ctrl + Shift + scroll do something currently?

Not on purpose :-). Since you're pressing Ctrl, it currently zooms. That's a good suggestion...

I find that shift + scroll and alt + scroll both do the same thing - left/right pan of the score. Can one of those be re-assigned to scroll through note durations?

I use Windows. Is there a similar duplication with other OS?

AFAIK Alt is a bit spotty on Linux, so it shouldn't really be used for MuseScore shortcuts. (but I don't know, i don't use Linux that much)
