No, that is just incorrect on *all* counts... <Ctrl>+<Alt> was used in OOo and
recognized for conflicting with <AtlGr> mappings on systems using Windows with
us-international key mappings. Have not looked at an AOO source tree, but do
not believe that has been changed.

Also, there is no "standard", just a Microsoft practice of os mapping
<Ctrl>+<Alt> to <AltGr> to support keyboards without a second <R-Alt> keysym
used for the AltGr toggle.

So, this remains dependent on physical keyboard, the os Keyboard mapping
selected, and finally on the locale setting in LibreOffice (picked up from os,
or as assigned).

With few exceptions, the default shortcuts/accelerators are assigned from:

The paired _MOD1_MOD2, are the <Ctrl>+<Alt> shortcuts

The actual source bypassing the <Ctrl>+<Alt> to allow it os mapping of <AltGr>
is about here:
