Set up my soap box in the [META] Ctrl+Alt (aka AltGR) keyboard shortcut issues
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107244

Windows is especially afflicted with this because of the os remapping of <Ctrl>+<Alt> to <AltGr> in multiple keyboard layouts.  But it highlights issue for all os/DE that by locale or keyboard choice clobber our default shortcut assignments.

Removing the few <Ctrl>+<Alt> shortcuts we've assigned globally or to modules seems reasonable, but it just kicks things down the road for finding a better way to accomodate keyboard layouts other the en-US
