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:

P.S. Good that you figured out how to set it via the gsettings command. :)
