There are no shortcuts for dynamics. I think there is work being done to allow a more versatile shortcut function for 4.0 like allowing shortcuts for palette items but I'm not making promises at this point.
The default shortcut Shift+V? Works fine for me. What OS< what keyboard layout?

To add a dynamics letter to a dynamic, put the cursor where you want the letter and press ctrl+shift+ the letter. This applies only to dynamics letters - m,f,p,z,s,r,n - and I usually miss one when I don't look it up. MuseScore does not adjust the velocity based upon the new dynamic, that is up to you.

Sorry, I forgot an important step. Double click the dynamic to put it into edit mode, then press ctrl+shift+ letter to add it to the dynamic.

To be clear: all the shortcuts mentioned: Ctrl+Shift+S,F,P,M and so forth - they all work while editing text. Doesn't even have to be dynamics, can be any text. Also Ctrl+Shift+b for flat, Ctrl+Shift+# for sharp. These aren't shortcuts for adding new elements to a score, they are shortcuts for inserting a character into text your are currently editing.

Yes, but Ctrl+Shift+S still leads me to save as even though I double-click.

MuseScore sometimes becomes confused when a shortcut has different meanings in different contexts. I suggest that you start with a different dynamic like "sf" and edit that rather than adding s to a dynamic.
WAIT! - ctrl+shift+s doesn't save, the default is ctrl+s

You must have added that shortcut yourself because I don't remember deleting it from mine.

@mike it could be that shortcuts perhaps aren't completely updated when updating MuseScore so it doesn't overwrite your own custom shortcuts.
But see the end of #269262: Missing default keyboard shortcut for "Save as.." which seems to indicate this default was (re-)added for the 3.5.0 release

That would explain it. Sounds like this should be reported as a bug and it needs to be given a special case based upon context.
