Feature Description:

I think it would make transition for i3 users much better if one could bind directly to Move window , Swap windows functionalities without the need to Enter adjustment mode first.

Not only for i3 users. Windows, KDE, and bare Gnome all allow direct access to these actions, and I think is what most people are used to and expect (me included).

Wow, have been looking through issues I opened here and I have not expected to get 25 thumbs up!

Curious to hear if this is considered for the roadmap or planed for the future rust-based DE? @mmstick

I'm not sure what shortcuts could be added to make that possible with the current set. I can add DBus methods to expose these features, but I'm unsure on shortcuts.
