When entering Figured Bass, the left / right arrow keys do nothing. They should, because they do during Lyrics input, the user expects the same here but they don't work. The left / right arrow keys should simply navigate the input, allowing corrections to be made during input, for a faster workflow and a more uniform user experience.

"The left / right arrow keys do nothing"
To navigate, you must use Space and Shift/Space keys, as documented in the Handbook : https://musescore.org/en/handbook/3/figured-bass#summary-of-keys
I understand that. Intuitively the arrow keys should work, so my suggestion remains.
Also applies to chord symbol, which is probably the more common use case. I can't remember if there was a reason this was implemented differently, but I can't think of one.
