i3 - Shortcuts using bind with multiple keycodes

Question

I want to add a custom shortcut to i3 desktop in linux.The manual says you should use bind [Modifiers+]keycode command.
Commands with just one keycode(gotten from xev) work fine but I don't know how to use multiple keycodes(e.g for $mod+alt+up).Also there is no modifier for Alt key that I can use in conjunction with bindsym.
Best regards

The Alt key is specified by the Mod1 identifier. Therefore you can do: Super + Alt + q by

$mod+Mod1+q

where $mod is defined earlier in the config as Mod4 or

Mod4+Mod1+q

Thanks , that works nicely . but I wanted to use `bind` since I didn't know any symbol for `+` key in numpad.Is there a way to use multiple keycodes? – Parsa Mousavi Dec 28 '19 at 10:20
