Shortcuts for note durations in text input would allow, among other things, changing metronome marks more easily.

The proposed shortcuts, aligned with note entry, advancing for note and figured bass entry shortcuts, are:
Ctrl+Shift+1: 64th note
Ctrl+Shift+2: 32th note
Ctrl+Shift+3: 16th note
Ctrl+Shift+4: 8th note
Ctrl+Shift+5: quarter note
Ctrl+Shift+6: half note
Ctrl+Shift+7: whole note
Ctrl+Shift+8: double whole note
Ctrl+Shift+9: longa note
Ctrl+Shift+.: augmentation dote

I'd rather have those shortcuts configurable rather than hardcoded. IMHO we should restrict the hardcoded shortcuts down to the absolute minimum.
Even if that means (quite a bit of) extra code and extra work for transalators.

In the context of inside a text element shortcuts like this aren't exposed to the user, like that for Sharps, Flats and naturals that already exist inside text elements.
