fix(desktop): give calc its own key instead of combi (task 0024)

Browse Source 
rofi-calc's live result only shows with the global -no-show-match flag,
which inside combi would unfilter the drun/run/window app search. Move
math evaluation to its own Super+C invocation carrying that flag, and
return combi to drun,run,window with emoji as the tab-away mode.

rofi-calc's live result is one generated entry that only survives with `-no-show-match`, a global rofi flag.
Inside `combi` that flag would also unfilter the `drun`/`run`/`window` app search, so calc cannot share the combi prompt and takes its own key.
