I just tried, and it actually does the same effect as setxkbmap,
resulting in a near-perfect keyboard behaviour.

I say `near-perfect' as these two solutions actually result in `^e' at
the place of `ê'.

What is the role of that key, and what does it actually do? Why am I
still getting ^e?

Thanks for your help.
