C-x w | split-window-right C-u C-x w | split-root-window-right C-x w - split-window-below C-u C-x w - split-root-window-belowThese are really not easier to type than 'C-x 2' and 'C-x 3'. I'd rather type simply 'C-u C-x 2' and 'C-u C-x 3' to split the root window.
But (1) C-u C-x 2 and C-u C-x 3 are already taken, and (2) unlike 2 and 3, | and - have a visual relation with the meaning of the command. That being said, I won't try to convince anyone here, again I just shared a part of my configuration which I thought could be useful in this discussion.
C-x w h window-height-adjust with + - = (repeatable) C-x w w window-width-adjust with + - = (repeatable)These could be also repeatable with arrow keys, and one keymap 'C-x w r' with mnemonic "resize".
But then you lose the possibility to fit the window to the buffer vertically and horizontally (which is what the = key does in both cases), at least not without using some arbitrary keys for the two cases. In practice I rarely adjust both the width and height of a window, but perhaps that's only me.
C-x w m maximize-window-toggle C-u C-x w m minimize-windowWindow managers have shortcut keys 'x' for maximize, and 'n' for minimize.
Out of curiosity: which window managers?
