Copy and edit this file : 
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-system-setup-keyboard.conf 
# This file is autogenerated by system-setup-keyboard. Any 
# modifications will be lost.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier      "system-setup-keyboard"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        Option          "XkbModel"      "pc105"
        Option          "XkbLayout"     "pt"
#       Option          "XkbVariant"    "(null)"
        Option          "XkbOptions"    "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,"
EndSection
