Well, reality is that LibreOffice currently makes no distinction between the
<Left-Alt> Key and the <Right-Alt> Key that is used with <Ctrl> to simulate the
keysym for the <AltGr> key when it is not present. There was work on bug 95761
to differentiate the two, but complaints forced that to be reverted.

So situation is that <Ctrl><Alt> mapping as <AltGr>  disrupts the LibreOffice
<Alt>+[somekey] shortcuts and accelerator assignments, but also can impact os
<AltGr> IME by locale.

Operating system, keyboard selection, and language/locale controls the <AltGr>
IME mappings--not LibreOffice, we just try to keep out of the mix.

We make adjustments by ones and twos for locales that really require it, but
there is no expectation of project support to map an entire range of keysyms
for a custom keyboard, which is what you are asking for to support direct
<AltGr> mapping for keyboard entry of the ~120 glyphs defined as 'Old
Hungarian'.

It might be doable by extension, but it will never be implemented in the core
of LibreOffice and this is a WONTFIX (because we can't).
