The Windows shortcut is redundant, because it works anyway, but adding it makes it also show in the menu, so it's fine I guess.

This shortcut is also defined by default on Linux when using KDE (Meta + .). Should we also define it there?

I've tried this on KDE 6.6.4 but regardless of whether I define this shortcut, pressing it opens the system emoji picker which doesn't integrate with Godot.
