As an alternative to a tiling window manager, I've found phoenix ( https://github.com/kasper/phoenix ) to be a great window manager. It allows you write custom keybinding in javascript to move windows around.

Phoenix can do this ( https://github.com/kasper/phoenix ). Hammerspoon can also do this (hammerspoon.org). Phoenix is programmed in JS, it seems faster for me, has fewer features. (But what you want is there.) Hammerspoon is programmed in…
