I'm new to Linux and recently I installed Debian 7 in my laptop.  I used to use Ctrl+Alt shortcut all the time in Windows, but in Debian 7 I can only use AltGr.So, I was trying to bind AltGr to Ctrl+Alt without success. First I installed AutoKey but then I didn't know how to use it. Then I installed xbindkeys and tried doing some configuration to get the binding but it didn't work. And I tried more and more things...At this point I don't know what to do; I'm just a newbie shooting in the dark.AltGr makes me work slowly. There is any way to do the binding without getting head cancer?

After some research I learned how to use xbindkeys. I only had to add the following commands to the xbindkeysrc file placed in my personal folder:# LeftBracketxvkbd -xsendevent -text [  Control+Alt + dead_grave | m:0xc + c:34# RightBracketxvkbd -xsendevent -text ]  Control+Alt + plus | m:0xc + c:35# LeftKeyxvkbd -xsendevent -text {  Control+Alt + dead_acute | m:0xc + c:48# RightKeyxvkbd -xsendevent -text }  Control+Alt + ccedilla | m:0xc + c:51# Pipexvkbd -xsendevent -text |  Control+Alt+Mod2 + 1 | m:0x1c + c:10# AtSignxvkbd -xsendevent -text @  Control+Alt+Mod2 + 2 | m:0x1c + c:11# Hashxvkbd -xsendevent -text #  Control+Alt+Mod2 + 3 | m:0x1c + c:12# Virgulilla (Spanish keyboard)xvkbd -xsendevent -text ~  Control+Alt+Mod2 + 4 | m:0x1c + c:13# Slashxvkbd -xsendevent -text \  Control+Alt+Mod2 + masculine | m:0x1c + c:49After that I added xbindkeys to gnome-session-properties to run xbindkeys at startup.This way I can use  Ctrl+Alt like I used to.
