Alas, common modifiers are not available indeed,
thus need to resort to Super/Hyper like I'm using:

  (setq-default
   windmove-default-keybindings             '(nil super)
   windmove-swap-states-default-keybindings '(nil super shift)
   windmove-display-default-keybindings     '(nil super meta)
   windmove-delete-default-keybindings      `(,(kbd "C-x") super))
