Here you presuppose existing Emacs bindings. Which, as already known,
do not satisfy the “as easily as” criterion.
On the other hand, consider the windmove and framemove packages.
windmove gives you easy bindings, by default Shift+arrows[1], that
switch to an adjacent window in the given direction. Then, framemove
hooks into that and when you don’t have an adjacent window in the
indicated direction, it switches to an adjacent frame in that
direction.
[1]: if you use cua-mode, it makes sense to rebind windmove to e.g. Alt+arrows.
