Well, for mainstream dwm my opinion has always been to stick to
mouse only. But I had occasional cases when I'd like to have
keyboard driven resizals as well, esp. when having no mouse
around and sticking to the thinkpad touchpad.

Maybe I will include something like this in the future.
Out of curiosity, which keybindings are you using to achieve
keyboard-driven movements and resizals, since Mod1-{h,j,k,l} are
taken already.

Kind regards,
