Description of the new feature/enhancement

Some people wish to use Ctrl+Alt combinations without Windows treating those as an alias for AltGr combinations (see #5525).
For instance on a German keyboard both CtrlAltQ and AltGrQ result in "@" being inserted. It should be possible to disable this behavior to be able to use these two as distinct key combinations.

Proposed technical implementation details

See #6212
