All you need is Moom for every window, not just terminal. http://manytricks.com/moom/

I have installed Breeze which seems to be very similar. But I rarely end up using it. Its top-bar menu is too slow to use, and I can never remember the hotkeys for positioning.

The interesting part of this solution is realising that for terminals, using the mouse nor long complicated keyboard shortcuts are needed. Terminals have text input, you can type where the window is supposed to go. There commands can be memorable, and there is no risk of collision with other global hotkeys.

I agree, which is why I absolutely adore Amethyst[0]. It is a "clone", if you will, of xmonad -- it's automatic, and keyboard shortcut driven entirely. No menu bar icon needed -- all windows snap to the grid to fill the screen by default, you can adjust the sizes on the fly, you can swap layouts with a single shortcut and viola! I highly recommend it, it used to be quite buggy but I've had zero issues in the last few months. @ianyh is an amazing developer!
