Re: Suggestion for terminal package maintainers

So maybe the answer is that Left-Control+Left-Alt and Right-Control+Right-Alt should each be interpreted as Control+Alt. Someone deliberately trying to enter Control+Alt+some-other-key is not likely to use different hands for Control and Alt.

I assume you have a German keyboard and could test whether my suggestion is consistent with the behavior of linux and xterm.
