Feature request: Move the active window to another desktop

[xan2622]

Hello Ramon. 👋

MoveToDesktop is a very convenient utility that allows to move the active window to other virtual desktops. But it is not actively maintained anymore.

It would be awesome if you could consider adding a ("Move window to ... desktop") sub-menu to the contextual menu of AltSnap: This way, the user would be able to quickly move the active window to other desktops.

Indeed it would be nice. I thought about it but never really took the time to do it.

I have found some documentation that (I hope) could help you implement this feature:

I was thinking to implement first multiple physical desktops, which is possible for me, for virtual desktop, I would need Windows 10 or 11 to make the test.

I would need Windows 10 or 11 to make the test.

In case you planned to use VirtualBox or VMware to (temporarily) install Windows 10, note that for Windows 11, afaik, VMware is the only solution (because, for the moment, only it supports TPM encryption).

I still hope this feature will be in a future version of Altsnap. 🤞
