I don't know what your remote control would do if you pressed two keys at the same time. But I do know that it can't send the two IR signals at the same time. I also know that if something could send two IR signals at the same time, then lirc couldn't make any sense of the result (nor could any other IR receiver system).
So "set the .lircrc so that we can press two keys at the same time" is pretty much a meaningless request.
Some remote controls can do something useful as a result of pressing two keys at the same time, but it isn't a common feature. That useful behavior might be sending a third signal different from either of the original two. In that case lirc would just think it was a different key and would have no reason to know you generated that signal by pressing two keys together.
A remote could respond to your pressing two keys together by sending the two signals a tenth of a second apart (most remotes don't respond that way, but some do). Then you would want some special configuration of lirc. I don't know lirc well enough to tell you how. But if your remote does send the two signals a tenth of a second apart, you could rephrase your lirc question to get some lirc expert to tell you how to make lirc respond properly (how to do a different action when two signals come in just a tenth of a second apart than the actions it would do for either of those signals if they came in alone).
