> A big one for me is keyboard input: at one point, I could use the Super key for whatever I liked, and I could easily set the right Alt key to be a Compose key. Now, there is no reclaiming the Super key from hard-coded shortcuts (Unity is even worse about this!), and the Compose key is outright missing from the keyboard settings menu.

Compose key is moved. To a non-obvious spot (if you're used to its historic location).

Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts, the ‘Typing’ section. There's ‘Compose key’, which lets you set the compose key.

It's also in a more traditional form in Gnome Tweak Tool.

Thank you!

No kidding; the Compose key being an actual key, it really belongs with the rest of the keyboard mapping settings. I guess since they removed that section altogether, they had to stick it somewhere.

Not anywhere I can see, but that's not a big deal.
