linux - xkb set keyboard level 3 chooser to ctrl+alt

The title says it all: I'm interested to mimic the Windows behavior, where Left Ctrl + Left Alt acts as a 3rd level chooser. This is relatively important to me, because, as a programmer, on my keyboard layout, important symbols such as {,[,] or } are accessible only by pressing Right Alt + Key, which is extremely uncomfortable using only one hand. At the moment, I use both Alt keys as a level 3 chooser, but this has some unwanted consequences, as I am no longer able to input some shortcuts(e.g. Home in Firefox).


I am on openSuse 13.1, using XFCE as a desktop environment. This question has already been asked a couple of times, but unfortunately no answer was provided in any of them, and the documentation on xkb is pretty scarce.
