It has been SO long since I tried Sibelius (and that just for a short
time) that I honestly forgot how it worked.

Example of an application (Mac OS X only) that does follow the key
signature on mouse-click input: NoteAbility
<http://debussy.music.ubc.ca/NoteAbility/>

It was the last graphically oriented app I used, and so I guess had
modified my own memory concerning the "big guns" Finale and Sibelius.
