virtual-desktopwindows 10
In windows 10, are there keyboard short cut keys to move an application window between virtual windows desktop?
For example, I remember in Ubuntu, I can press CTRL+SHIFT+RIGHT and that will move the active windows to the virtual desktop on the right.
I want to be able move windows between virtual desktops without a mouse or touch screen.
The Compiz window manager supports this through its "Viewport Switcher" plugin, if I remember correctly. (Get compizconfig-settings-manager aka ccsm.)
If you're using plain Metacity, it does not have such a feature.
Open Task View, either by clicking on the icon in your task bar or by pressing Win + Tab, then right click on the application/window you would like to move to another virtual desktop and make your selection from the Move to context menu.
Note that you will only see the applications open on the current desktop in task view, so either open Task View from the virtual desktop it is running on, or you can change the "focus" to a different virtual desktop by mousing over it's picture (but not clicking it) at the bottom of the screen.

The functionality of moving an existing application to another virtual desktop exists but isn't mapped to a keyboard shortcut and there seems to be no way, yet, to map it.
