Chromatics When Changing Note Pitch
Whenever I press the up or down arrow keys while having a note selected, as we all know, it changes the pitch of the note either up or down by 1 half step in chromatics. However, I've never liked this and would prefer to be able to go up or down within the key, not up or down chromatically. Is there a way to change this, or is that not a feature?

The term is "diatonically". Use the arrow keys while holding the ALT key. See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/transposition#Transposing_with_keyb…
Use Alt+Shift+Up and Alt+Shift+Down. You can change the shortcuts if you prefer in Edit > Preferences > Shortcuts -- look for 'move pitch diatonically'.
