I have just learned this version of Texmacs was 1 year old, though it
is still the official version for my distribution.
I have also tried to get the source from the web and compile it, but
it failed. I have probably to set up Qt correctly, which I don't have
time to do this.

Compilation should work out of the box. You only need to be sure that the version of guile you have is 1.8 and NOT 2.0 

 * I see xmodmap is used to translate keyboard inputs, maybe it could

work. If I understand well, it would require to type differently than
what is expected and displayed on the actual keyboard. I feel it is a
bit overkill for this. My solution will be to wait for a new release
from Archlinux.

 

Have you tried the static binaries?

http://www.texmacs.org/Download/ftp/tmftp/generic/TeXmacs-1.99.2-i386-pc-linux-gnu-B.tar.gz

or if you have an older glibc:
