After toggle key-combination or multiple keystrokes.

Idea

I think Slate should provide same way to arrange and resize windows as tmux (combination of keys after toggle) or kind of idea of language to manipulate windows - like VIM does for text objects: In series of keystrokes.

This way there is much less possibilities to interfere shortcuts in other programs and it would be much easier to remember how to command window-manager.

TMUX -style

Slate should give opportunity to use combination of keys after toggle:

# ctrl-a to toggle to slate-mode and then pushing with ALT pushed plus arrow 
bind alt,right:ctrl,a:toggle resize +10% +0 to resize screen.

VIM -style

# first initiate slate-mode, then m as move, w-window (taken from hint reffered as '&' 
# in here.) to screen 1 in using layout 1-main.
bind move,&,1:ctrl,a:toggle  throw 1 ${1-main} 
# push window by given rules or to some alias.
bind p,.:ctrl,a:toggle push right bar-resize:screenSizeX/2

Not quite the same thing but I use https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate.git and rebind a hyper key, this take all of my window management keys out of the "clash" range. Really works rather nicely.

I will look at that, thank you. Better yet Slate should introduce global modal-change - not per key - but global change like in Karabiner VIM/VI -modal changes and show with popup that special mode.
