Recent and Favorites list boxes were included on the full dialog. So no point
to having a button there to show the reduced dialog.

No as apparently the control is not structured correctly and needs additional
dev effort. Otherwise Tools -> Customize -> Keyboard would be the method to
assign it a keyboard shortcut. 

And from there, you'd search for "Symbol". The .uno:CharmapControl is the
second search result. The first--linked to .uno:InsertSymbol--does correctly
take a keyboard shortcut assignment and works fine. 

As noted, both "Symbol" buttons can be set visible on the Standard Toolbar--it
is just the full dialog's button that is visible by default. With additional
dev effort the two buttons may be merged.
