Palette Shortcuts

In the eighth week, significant progress was made on palette shortcuts. However, after consulting with the team, it was determined that this feature must remain a proof-of-concept for the time being. The justification for this is that there are a number of issues that directly impact this.

• For instance, activities using default keyboard shortcuts cannot be cleared.
• If new palette components are introduced in an update, the user cannot simply add them without resetting his palette settings, which

Palette Shortcuts

In the seventh week, I primarily focused on palette shortcuts. Initially, there were some issues with my implementation of these shortcuts, and some issues persisted, and a few still persist.

In the past, palette cells could only be assigned keyboard shortcuts if their names remained constant.  Obviously, this was not the correct solution; thus, it was rectified. Although keyboard shortcuts may be set from palettes, they should also be assignable from the preferences for keyboard shortcuts. If they are

Conflict-Issue Resolution

The sixth week marks the halfway milestone of the project. This week began with the resolution of a shortcuts issue I discovered while working on my project: PR #12479.
This problem was relatively straightforward and was also described in the PR. In essence, the problem was that the conflict checking compared the string form of two shortcuts, which was OK for the most part, but presented issues when the shortcut already set had several sequences. For instance,

Missing Shortcuts Issue

The fifth week was quite active. Essentially all of the week was spent working on the missing shortcuts issue with the team. As soon as I had the shortcut contexts in the spreadsheet shown in the last blog article, I started adding them to the code. This approach was made a bit easier by the script I had written (I had tweaked the category addition script to add shortcut contexts instead). However, it required quite a few adjustments

Hello, everyone! Now that the fourth week has passed, I am pleased to say that the Note Input Toolbar and Playback toolbar UI shortcut assignment functionality has been converted into a Pull Request. Please observe the same here: PR #12265.

Additionally, the python script, which is around 120 lines, that can add categories to the spreadsheet has been completed. This implies that once the spreadsheet containing all of the shortcut categories is complete, adding them into the code should

Hello, everyone! With the conclusion of the third week, I am pleased to report that the Note Input Bar and Playback Toolbar shortcuts are currently in the testing phase. If you'd like to have a look and give it a try, please visit: https://github.com/VanSHOE/MuseScore/tree/NotePlaybackShortcuts

The majority of this week was devoted to the classification of shortcuts. Since categorization by the team would take some time since the process requires a lot of iterations, I began designing a script that
