Description

Issue type

UX/Interaction bug (incorrect behaviour)

Bug description

In Windows Alt+decimal number on keypad is a way of direct code point input, which might be useful (see #22771 freature request).
Regardless of the Alt key state, MuseScore tries to enter rest or set note duration.

Steps to reproduce

No shortcuts in MuseScore's preferences were assigned to Alt+Numpad keys.
Right here - in browser's input field - Alt+0167 created a paragraph sign: §
When editing title in MuseScore, for the same combination it will be quiet on Alt+Num0 and on the next Alt+Num1 shows a warning dialog "No note selected".

MuseScore Version

4.3.0, 4.6.4
