Well, in MIDI each note-on event only holds a few fields. Anything
fancier than pitch and velocity really has to be a controller (or
pitch-bend-style double-size controllers, or sysex, but you get the idea)

Not sure what version you have but now in the controllers menu in
notation, you can cut, copy, and paste controllers from whatever
controller ruler is active.

Yes, the adjust submenu has a few more options nowadays, and applies to
selected notes.

Key shortcuts are unfortunately set in stone at compile-time. It's in
data/rc/ in the source code if you want to play with it.
