Fingering Shortcut Issue in Musescore 4.4
I need help with doing navigation for fingering on Musescore 4.4. On Musescore 3.6, according to the handbook, I was able to create a shortcut to turn on the fingering input and quickly insert finger numbers on music. The shortcut was Ctrl+Alt+F, and I was able to hold down "Alt" to navigate through the notes and move wherever I needed while inserting the fingering. However, I have tried to do the same navigation with Musescore 4.4 and it's not working. I created a shortcut (Alt+Shift+F) to turn on the fingering input, and it works, but if I hold down Alt, or just use the arrow keys, I can't navigate through the notes like I could with 3.6. The fingering cursor won't move anywhere. At this point, it would be just as slow as dragging and dropping fingering on each note one at a time, and this is really holding me back. If there is anything that could be done to fix that, or anything, thank you in advance to anyone who can help.
UPDATE: I found that I can use the space bar to navigate forward in fingering input mode, but I can't go backwards. Again, is there a better way to do this, or is there an issue? Thank you in advance.

I'm afraid I don't understand your explanation of your issue in the slightest. Sorry.
That said, if Space works to move forward, it's likely that Shift+Space will work to move backward. That convention is common throughout MuseScore.

Okay. I will try that out. Thank you!
The issue was this: you know how you can hit the arrow keys or the space bar to navigate through the notes when you are inputting lyrics? Well, when inputting fingering (on Musescore 3.6), you had to hold down the Alt key and hit the arrow keys to navigate through the notes. Musescore 4.4 doesn't do that, and I was trying to figure it out how it worked on that software version.

Perhaps the alt key method in 3.6 was working, I don't know, but hitting space and shift space is easier isn't?
I'm a 3.6 user and only use that to navigate while entering fingerings

For me, either one could work just fine. In 3.6 though, the Alt with arrow keys is what I learned, and I really like it. But using Space and Space + Shift can work just as well now that I know it. I can use that for 4.4 then. Thank you!

I tried hitting Space and Shift together and it worked! Thanks a lot!
