`focus next` is available, but `move next` is not

Trying to adopt swaywm from awesomewm I ran into this inconsistency. So focus next exists, letting me ergonomically cycle through windows. Sadly, a move next for moving the focused window in the same way is not available.

Let me persuade you: My bindings are Super+space for focus next and would be Super+Shift+space for move next. This allows for far better ergonomics all around. I don't have to consciously think about direction (I sometimes mix up left and right, we all do). The space bar is the single most ergonomic key.

A ~~window manager~~ wayland compositor only allowing the clumsy directional ways of *-management is a bit disappointing.
