Description
Description
When pressingctrl-/ there's a beep coming apparently from the system. This has been reported both for Alacritty https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3014 and Neovide https://github.com/neovide/neovide/issues/2984.
According to the Alacritty issue a workaround is to map a shortcut that handles the combination, but Neovide does not deal with key combinations directly, and I think that winit should deal with the case of it not being mapped.
macOS version

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Ctrl-/ beep on macOS 14.7.1 with winit 0.30.7, then trace the platform keyboard handling involved in unmapped key combinations. Done means the combination no longer produces the system beep without requiring an application shortcut, with regression coverage if the existing tests support it.
