Isn't it just as easy (or even easier) to select the note and click on the symbol for the duration you need to change to (or enter the figure associated with that duration from the keyboard, i.e. 5 for a quarter, 4 for an eighth etc.)? This is how it works right now and how it has worked since version 1 if not even longer.

w, q, shift+w and shift+q already do that.
