[Bug 822872] Re: LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Key should be equivalent to RightAlt+Key

 

Well, actually the problem can be reproduced by anyone (including you), as I have explained. You only need to choose a keyboard layout containing third-level keys (most European ones do, as well as the US/UK international one) and then try to input such a key by pressing it at the same time as left Ctrl and left Alt, which won’t work.
However, I understand the need for other users’ feedback. I will now go back to the links above, where many other users complain about this same problem, and ask those users to participate in this report.

To anybody unfamiliar with the use of third-level keys, and especially
to those who might think that having a left-hand third-level chooser is
not an issue, I suggest a glance at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key whereby is evident what an
extensive (and vital) use European keyboards make of third-level keys.
