Actually, I have just added the move/resize using keyboard feature in e16(svn).

One way to activate move/resize by keyboard is to add e.g.

KeyDown CS m wop * move kbd
KeyDown CS s wop * size kbd

in bindings.cfg to activate move/resize by ctrl-shift-m/s.

Similar entries could of course be added to e.g. winops_size.menu if you want to select it from a menu, but IMO that kind of goes against the principle of wanting to use the keyboard :)
