I have in my Emacs define prefix + jkli as move to window left, down, right,
up. These are like "wasd" keys used in computer games, I used the same analogy,
just shifted it to left hand instead. I do use prefix + wasd too "send buffer"
from selected window to up, left, right, down in cases where Emacs opens a
buffer in my selected window but I didn't want it, or I want certain buffer in
some particular window.
