Thanks a lot, that table looks perfect. I just removed the u/i/o that I don't
need, but I didn't have to edit / add anything else.

As for the mode_switch, I just added this line for using RAlt :
keycode 113 = Mode_switch

The layout seems perfectly usable now, all my issues are solved :)

Except maybe the fact that it's a custom layout. So for a family computer,
it's not ideal, and for a box at uni, it'll require doing the same setup again,
though that should just be a matter of copying my custom .Xmodmap.
But for my personal laptop, it's perfect :)
