To be honest I don't have this problem because I selected a tool set that does this already. Tiling window managers (Awesome, XMonad, etc) and VIM do all of this and more, and I use them every day with great ease. In fact, moving away from them and having to use a 'click + drool' GUI (Unity, KDE, Gnome, etc) to move windows around feels slightly painful to me now.
