Used to be possible in Snow Leopard to move an app between `desktops` with a keyboard shortcut

keyboardmission-control

You could assign a keyboard shortcut to move the app with focus to a specific desktop. Can't find this in Lion. Anyone know if it's still possible?

I figured out how to do this.

  • Open System Prefs > keyboard
  • On Keyboard Shortcuts tab choose Mission Control
  • Enable the "Switch to Desktop..." shortcuts
  • Now when you click on a window and perform the Switch to Desktop keyboard shortcut it'll move that window to the desktop

Guess there is a mouse component to this, so it's not pure keyboard. But I find it way easier than dragging windows around in mission control.
