+ Called when an [InputEventKey] hasn't been consumed by [method _input] or any GUI [Control] item. The input event propagates up through the node tree until a node consumes it.
It is only called if unhandled key input processing is enabled, which is done automatically if this method is overridden, and can be toggled with [method set_process_unhandled_key_input].
To consume the input event and stop it propagating further to other nodes, [method Viewport.set_input_as_handled] can be called.
This method can be used to handle Unicode character input with [kbd]Alt[/kbd], [kbd]Alt + Ctrl[/kbd], and [kbd]Alt + Shift[/kbd] modifiers, after shortcuts were handled.
For gameplay input, this and [method _unhandled_input] are usually a better fit than [method _input] as they allow the GUI to intercept the events first.
+ This method also performs better than [method _unhandled_input], since unrelated events such as [InputEventMouseMotion] are automatically filtered.
[b]Note:[/b] This method is only called if the node is present in the scene tree (i.e. if it's not an orphan).
