Keystrokes should be: ctrl-3, 4, 4, cursor left 2 times so it is on the first 8th, 5.
I just tried it and that is how it works in speedy entry.
In Simple entry:
select the 8th note, select the triplet, enter two 8th-notes.
click on triplet icon in simple-entry palette to turn OFF triplet mode.
click on quarter note icon and click on first 8th-note of triplet already entered. This changes the first 8th to a quarter and completes the triplet.

Aha! I know what the problem is. It's the quarter-eighth triplet. When you create the triplet, the FIRST rhythmic value you enter tells Finale how big the grouping is going to be. So to enter a quarter-eighth triplet, enter a triplet EIGHTH note first, (to tell FInale that it is an eighth-note triplet grouping) enter the last eighth note, then go back and change the first note to a quarter note.
Thanks, I've just tried this two ways without success.
First I entered the 8th triplet note, then entered a quarter-triplet to the left of it. Rather than a long-short grouped tuplet, I get a regular quarter note followed by the beginning of a triplet grouping (and the cursor shows triplets activated). Second, I entered both pitches as eighth-triplets, then changed the first pitch to a quarter-triplet and both change to a regular non-triplet rhythm. Is there a different way to do this?
