You could use a chroot to enter a "move/resize mode".  It won't have all the
nice features of an interactive move/resize right now though.

The patch as it is won't work because it assumes a qwerty keyboard layout,
and that's a serious issue.  I would take a patch to add configurable
bindings for directions, which could control both the menu and move/resize
operations.
