I can't use this option because it acts like the SHIFT key was all the 
time pressed thus I can't select what I want with the mouse.
I want to do one of the two following way :
 - modify the CAPSLOCK behavior so it writes the upper left symbol of 
the number keys, like it does for the letters.
 - modify the upper right symbol of the number keys to be the same than 
the upper left symbol.

all modifications I made in the xkb/symbols/<file> are not working and I 
really don't know how to do what I want.
