You might want to look into this utility: http://www.nongnu.org/xbindkeys/xbindkeys.html
It's in the repos, and there is also a configuration gui for it
apt-cache search xbindkeys
will find it.
The Menu key is, by default, used as the compose key. So MENU+' e gives é in terminal or any other application. You can turn this off in System Settings -> Keyboard -> Options. But there does not seem to be an option then to bring up an actual menu with the button.
This feature is added to pantheon-terminal version 5.3.6+.
Please update your system sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
