Ubuntu 16.04 only gives me the following options to use as a compose key (under System Settings > Keyboard > Typing):

  • Disabled
  • Right Alt
  • Right Ctrl
  • Right Win
  • Left Ctrl
  • Menu
  • Caps Lock

Is there any way I could use Left Alt as my compose key (Menu is not it apparently)?

I don't think so. XKB provides a few more options; you can view them by running this command:

cat /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst | grep compose

But Left Alt is not one of them.

Edit:

There may be a xmodmap way to fix it; please see DK Bose's comments.
