Have you tried Ratpoison? It's got a bunch of features to manipulate the rat with the keyboard.

If ratpoisons features aren't enough, stumpwm might work well, it's like ratpoison with lisp.

Cagebreak is like ratpoison for Wayland. (I haven't tried it.)

I suspect awesomewm might be a good candidate too. I messed around with trying to make it more ratpoisony. The results were pretty good.

I have not.

I've considered keyboard-driven WMs before, but have thus far gotten by using regular WMs with a few custom keybinds for window sizing, movement, and monitor placement.

As long as you have an automated algorithm for the basic layout, it works pretty well.

I still have to contendb with apps that don't offer the shortcuts I want, though, and that's when Shortcat is very handy.
