By default, windmove binds shift-left/right/up/down for moving in those
directions, and winner binds C-c left/right for undo/redo'ing window
configuration changes. I imagine that many people here have established
habits for these (if they use them), but, for example, both "left" bindings
are also used in Org, and the default machinery for windmove includes an
easy way to replace the Shift modifier with another. How about:

 C-x w left windmove-left
 C-x w right windmove-right
 C-x w up windmove-up
 C-x w down windmove-down
 C-w w C-z  winner-undo
 C-w w C-S-z winner-redo
