replace keys by ~/.xkb/symbols:

partial modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "space_sides" {

create a shell script to load keymap:
$ cat ~/scripts/setup_my_keymap.sh
xkbcomp -I/home/haco/.xkb ~/.xkb/keymap/my_keymap :1 2> /dev/null
run:
$ ~/scripts/setup_my_keymap.sh
add the script as a startup application:
rf. to know other keycodes:
