On macOS, to open Preferences we have Cmd + , We can use analog of that (Ctr + ,) for Windows and Linux

Research direction
Locate the shortcut configuration file in the MuseScore source code (likely in src/framework/actions or similar). Look for the existing macOS shortcut for Preferences (Cmd+,) and add an equivalent entry for Windows/Linux (Ctrl+,). Check if any platform specific conditional compilation is needed. Ensure the change is consistent with other shortcuts in the codebase.
