Thanks! I've changed this and will see how it works after reboot.


I do think it would make sense to allow both Shift keys, but only left 
Alt though. If anything, for accessibility reasons at least.

I also wonder if the combination of grp:alt_shift_toggle and level3/4 
shift on AltGr works differently in X/Wayland.

Cheers!
