Unfortunately computer programs can't work in inexact ways. Denemo has
a number of commands for inserting notes of a named pitch, and it would
be possible to script new ones but they would need precise semantics.

I think you may mean holding down the Shift key while pressing and
releasing the A key while the CapsLock is off. In the default keymap
that is the first keypress of a two keypress shortcut. Possible
continuations are listed on the status bar bottom right.

I don't know of such a dialog - can you show a picture of it, or
describe its title?
