Consistent window commands

I like both my leader and ace-window for different reasons, and I need
them to be consistent.

Also, I want to split a window and immediately see a file or buffer.

This package, bound to ~SPC w w~, also allows operations specified before choosing the window:
- ~x~ - delete window
- ~m~ - swap windows, which allows you to place the current buffer in any other window
- ~j~ - switch to a buffer in any other window
- ~?~ - show the rest of the command bindings
Keep in mind, these shortcuts work with more than two windows open. For instance, ~SPC w w x 3~ closes the "3" window.

This is nice since the window numbers are always present on a Doom modeline, but they order the window numbers /differently/ than =ace-window=. Let's see which I end up liking better.
The ~0~ key/window should be always associated with a project-specific tree window:

**** Window Splitting
When I split a window, I have a following intentions:
- Split and open a file from the prespective/project in the new window
- Split and change to a buffer from the prespective in the new window
- Split and move focus to the new window … you know, to await a new command
And when creating new windows, why isn't the new window selected? Also, when I create a new window, I typically want a different buffer or file shown.
