Currently alt and altGr are treated as two different keys. I find it useful to treat them the same in majority of the cases.

One of the benefits is that most of the time they shortcuts like ctrl+alt+t are left-handed, but it's more ergonomic to use ctrl+altGr+t (with right hand), while still being able to use both (e.g. when the other hand is occupied for some reason - phone call for example).

Right now, I have ctrl+altGr+t mapped, but that makes ctrl+alt+t stop working.

Not sure if it's possible / easy to add an option to treat these as one key instead as two separate keys. Alternatively - and perhaps better - add capability to have multiple shortcuts for a single action, so that both ctrl+alt+t and ctrl+altGr+t can be mapped to the same action.
