A tribute to evilwm - An OS X substitution for keyboard-only-kinda-interaction

Imagine not having to reach for your mouse all the time and maybe you can feel how your RSI related pains just disappears. One thing that annoys me, in most todays GUIs, is the poor interaction when resizing and moving windows. Most GUIs require this to be done with the mouse, however evilwm is a brilliant exception. In evilwm a couple of keyboard shortcuts helps you to position and resize windows. To bad evilwm is only available under the X Window System.

To bear with all the fluffyness of OS X Aqua I wrote an applescript some time ago for keyboard window interaction. I have been using it daily for a about a month. The initial version can resize a window and position it either on the left or right half of the screen or show a maximized window. The script is quite basic but useful for me. Feel free to modify it, and if you do please let me know.
