[Arturo Orlando <822872@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For the sake of completeness, one must add that LeftCtrl+LeftAlt is not a _perfect_ left-hand third-level chooser, because:
1) it involves pressing two keys instead of one, which is more stressful on the hand;
2) it doesn’t allow for fourth level keys, since it already includes the Shift (thus making you fall back again on right hand only for the fourth level).
So, in a utopian world, it would ideally be substituted by a single left-hand key (as in my makeshift workaround above).

However:
1) it is still much more comfortable than no left-hand third-level chooser (that is, always having to resort to RightAlt);
2) fourth level keys are nevertheless much rarer and less important than third level keys;
3) it _is_ the Microsoft Windows standard, and all users coming from Windows expect it to behave that way.
