I've opened https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9745
More a doc bug than anything else. As I said there is zero useful doc around, so I ended up hacking around and it's not pretty and not doing what I want. I'm totally amazed to have found zero example of how to do something as simple as: Fn+e => send the x symbol AltGr+e => send the y symbol Cmd+e => send the z symbol having the key codes for Fn, AltGr and Cmd (using xev). Is that totally impossible with xkb? Once that documentation problem fixed, I'll provide a full mapping for the stoaway sierra keyboard in about five minute.
