Currently, I'm using elementary OS, which is a fine distro with a great UI, but previous to this I have been using i3 (on Arch and Ubuntu) and I really miss the window management aspect using simple keybindings. I have been looking around for a while on how to manipulate the location and size of active (and maybe in extension inactive windows). I know that I can create custom keyboard shortcuts and all in the system settings, but the problem is that I don't know the exact command to make the windows behave the way I want after pressing the desired keybinding.
Specifically, there are two scenarios I want to adress: The first is that I want to have a vertical split between two windows, the left one (width=4/7) and the right one (width=3/7), kind of similar to the dwm layout.
----------------
|1 |2 |
| | |
| | |

The second is that I want a 3 window slip. So the first window is on the left-hand side and has a width equal to half the monitor size and the second and third windows are on the right-hand side and are split horizontally, similar to any tiling window manager.
---------------
|1 |2 |
| | |
| |------|
| |3 |
| | |

Another (possible) binding I want to have, is the option to switch the position of the active window with the master window (window 1).
I know that I could just go back to i3 or dwm to have these binding, but I really want to make this work in my current UI.
I hope somebody can help me.
