Note that there are four choices in Properties > Notes and Rests > Accidental, so this command cycles through them all. (The word ‘toggle’ is a misnomer.) The first time does Show, then Hide, so to get to Round Brackets you’ll have to hit it 3 times.

For your purposes, check out Notation Options > Accidentals > Cautionary Accidentals.
