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.
