Yep, that's what I was using lately, us + compose key. I just found 3 keys too painful : é à and ç are directly available on the azerty layout, and are quite frequently needed. Now I have them available with two keys : altgr+w, altgr+a, altgr+c, which is still practical. But indeed, the compose key would be very useful for writing a wide range of characters that are not too frequent.
