Yes, the geom files understand a more mature syntax, see
wmiiwm(1) for details.
Basically you can use following syntax from:
move north: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 -30 -0 -0
move south: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 +30 -0 -0
move east: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom +30 -0 -0 -0
move west: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -30 -0 -0 -0
snap north: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 north -0 -0
snap south: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 south -0 -0
snap east: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom east -0 -0 -0
snap west: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom west -0 -0 -0
resize north: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 -0 -0 -30
resize south: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 -0 -0 +30
resize east: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 -0 +30 -0
resize west: xwrite /view/sel/sel/geom -0 -0 -30 -0
Though expect a better way for wmii-4, already on TODO.
