In Ubuntu, to write ā, ē, ī, ū (vowel with macron or garumzīme) I type
Alt + - + letter
with the Latvian keyboard set
To write ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ (consonant with cedilla or mīkstinājuma zīme) I type
Alt + , + letter
But how to type č, š, ž (consonant with caron, háček or another type of mīkstinājuma zīme)
Alt + ??? + letter
The keyboard settings are the following:
The compose key is Right Alt
Other options for the compose key are
Disabled, Right Ctrl, Right Win, Left Ctrl, Menu, Caps Lock.
AltGr does not appear as an option.

If you would change the compose key to "Disabled" it would work. But then some of the other examples you showed would need to be typed in a different way. Possibly it would be a good idea in your case to pick some other key as the compose key, e.g. "Right Ctrl". Having "Right Alt" (or "AltGr") ready for its original purpose is useful for many things.

@Viesturs: When seeing your own answer, I realize that you must have defined <AltGr> as the compose key. Hence it will not work for its original purpose, which is the probable explanation why you can't use the built-in method in the Latvian keyboard layout.

<AltGr> and <Right Alt> is the same thing. And it's that key you are using for all the examples you show, isn't it?

If you would change the compose key to "Disabled" it would work. But then some of the other examples you showed would need to be typed in a different way. Possibly it would be a good idea in your case to pick some other key as the compose key, e.g. "Right Ctrl". Having "Right Alt" (or "AltGr") ready for its original purpose is useful for many things.
