So there are quite a lot of possibilities.

I think I have to figure out a standard set of keybindings/window-moves
and set them in all my 3 window managers (tmux, stumpwm, and emacs
itself) in a similar way (only with different prefix), otherwise it will
drive me nuts to do the same thing in so many different ways. I will try
Bastiens library first, since it looks quite impressive.

Thanks for the tips.
