Dell Latitude E6540, german keyboard.
I can type AltGr-{ ... and so on, but ctrl-alt-{ ... as labeled on the
keyboard gives something wrong.
It seems like when Alt is pressed Ctrl (Strg) is ignored, it gives the
same keys as without Ctrl.
I tried some things with setxkbmap, but no success.
Unfortunately, there doesn't currently seem to be a way to configure X
to act in this way.
In xkeyboard-config language, you are trying to access the "3rd level
shift" for a key (1st level is the normal key, 2nd is the shifted key)
I believe that the standard (DIN 2137) specifies that this 3rd level is
accessed by right alt.
ctrl + left alt being equivalent to right alt is a Windows-ism [1].
See the upstream bug [2], you might also find the discussion in [3] of
interest.
