Powertoys: Moving a program with you to another virtual desktop

[AnthonyLenglet]

One of the thing I've found lacking ever since I started using the virtual desktops is the ability to move a window with you while moving to another virtual desktop.

Currently, we can move to another desktop using the shortcut ctrl + win + left/right, I feel like a shortcut along the lines of ctrl + win + alt + left/right could be used to make the current active window move with you to the next desktop

I have no idea if this fits as a powertoy, please tell me if it doesn't !

I currently use Virtual Desktop Enhancer to that effect. It's no longer maintained, but still works. You can configure keyboard shortcuts to move the currently focused program to an adjacent desktop, either with you or without changing desktops yourself.

I personally have set Ctrl + Alt + Win + Left/Right to move a program without switching and Ctrl + Shift + Win + Left/Right to take a program along.

An existing alternative to virtual desktop enhancer, MoveToDesktop, is not archived, though it is limited to this one virtual desktop feature (move window hotkey). For me it's indispensable, and would be great to have the feature natively!

for keeping stuff documented, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/desktops is one tool that had a basic UX for virtual desktops long ago

You can already do this with the standard virtual desktop, right click the window in the tab switcher and select show this window on all desktops.

This isn't exactly the same thing (the proposal is mainly useful for when it comes to reorganising your windows using nothing but the keyboard) but it definitely helps for some cases

Ah toggle that setting on the active window, actually I really like that and would use that more often. Good call imo.
