I'm using 3 monitors currently (one vertical) and I'm used to utilizing keyboard shortcuts for moving windows between screens - for example I can move window onto vertical screen and then into bottom half of it, all using keyboard.

The question for people using single ultrawide screen instead of multiples - is something like this possible to achieve? are you able to define virtual "regions" on the screen space to move windows there?

I'm using Rectangle[1] on Mac for this. But Raycast also has some functionality in that direction.

Sure, you can use xrandr to create virtual monitors. Works great with i3 at least!

Yes you can. On Mac keyboard maestro will do exactly that. On windows it’s Autohotkey.
