Bug Description
In Ubuntu 20.04, I was able to set Left Ctrl as my Compose key using gnome-tweaks. I just upgraded to 22.04, where the Compose key settings have been removed from gnome-tweaks and moved into control-center, but Left Ctrl is not in the list of options for Compose.
I was able to restore Left Ctrl as my Compose key using:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.
adding 'compose:lctrl' to that list, but it would be nice to expose it in the GUI.
For context, my modifier settings are:
* Caps Lock is Ctrl ('ctrl:nocaps')
* Left Ctrl is Compose ('compose:lctrl')
* Both Shift keys enable/disable Caps Lock ('shift:
which gives me both a Ctrl key on both sides of the keyboard and an easily-accessible Compose key.

Thanks for your report.
This is a design matter and should better be reported upstream:
https:/ /gitlab. gnome.org/ GNOME/gnome- control- center/ -/issues
If you report it there, please post the URL to the upstream issue here for tracking purposes.
P.S. Good that you figured out how to set it via the gsettings command. :)
