So wrt the hot key thing, is it possible to have window manager (or an application within an existing window manager) to allow control of window positions and sizes using keys? Something like xmonad, or Spectacle in OS X?

This is possible on sway, but no one has made standards for it yet (it would be pretty contentious, and some groundwork should probably be laid first).

Sway implements the i3 IPC protocol, which has commands for moving windows around. You could bind this stuff to keys if you wish.
