Hi Miguel!

take a look at xmodmap (man page), it will do what you want on any
linux machine. Basically you need a .Xmodmap in your ~/ directory with
the commands to do what you want.

I'm no pure:dyne developer, but they for sure have choosen Xfce cause
it has a balance between lightness and usability. I like light window
managers (personally I use dwm), but for newcomers I always show and
install Gnome first, it's really an awesome desktop environment. You
can try installing gnome on pure:dyne, but there is a chance you mess
up with something (careful with pulse audio). But last time I did this
it went well.

Best Regards,

Ricardo
