Adding articulations to the last note entered

In MS 3 when you typed a note the notehead remained selected and you could quickly use a keyboard shortcut to add an accent, staccato mark, dynamic, etc.
In MS 4 the notehead also remains selected, but using Shift+S or Shift+V for example TOGGLES the articulation for future notes and does nothing to note just entered. This is a big annoyance when you are arranging a complex part with staccato, tenutos, accents, marcatos, and it's inconsistent with how dynamics still work in MS 4. Is there a way to get the old behavior back?
