You're right, this capability is only for mouse actually.
There is a need for other keybindings (in main and second mode), so I've
added them in the commit 4cd4754.

Please, test: Control+Shift+Left/Right to move over next/previous
brother and take the current window in it.
Control+Shift+Alt+Left/Right/Up/Down: same thing but spatially.

This must work in both main and second mode.

No, this can't work because key binding and mouse binding are stored in
different hash table. The mechanism for both is not nearly the
same. (And more there is different hash table for each mode).
BTW clfswm is not threaded there is only one single loop.

Thanks for the request,
