i just need a window manager that performs the following for free:

- hotkey for full screeen window

- hotkey for center screen window

- hotkey for left/right half window

- hotkey for move window to prev/next monitor

- hotkey for resize window by mouse (a la bettertouchtool)

- hotkey for move window by mouse (a la bettertouchtool)

currently i'm using a combination of these to do the following, but i feel its a bit overkill when all i need are what i described above:

- bettertouchtool

- sizeUp

If you want it so badly, why not pay for the ones that exist?

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 Lua, it's slower (to start up at least), and it has more features. (I've got a "vi normal mode" config after Karabiner doesn't work with macOS Sierra.)
