On my last laptop I used the Menu key as Compose. On this one I use Right Alt.


I use CapsLock; lowest usefulness to size ratio possible.


Caps lock is much more useful as a home row ctrl key


Why stop there though? Mine is configured to be ESC when tapped, CTRL when held down. Took a while to get used to, but it's a big improvement compared to other ways of handling ESC on a 60% keyboard.


I find it most useful as a Super key, so that I can attach all my custom keybindings and shortcuts to it.
