Moving a window over multiple workspaces picks up one window form each workspace i passes

If I have three workspaces with the set up [Firefox,Firefox] [Gnome-terminal] [Nautilus]

and want to move the second firefox to the bottom (next to nautilus) with ctrl+super+page down it also picks up gnome-terminal on the way down so I end up with: [Firefox] [] [Nautilus,Firefox,Gnome-terminal]

Yeah, you'll have to release ctrl mid flight. It's not the most intuitive, but we never implemented a drop window on ctrl release. So we went with holding ctrl down meant picking up more windows (as that wouldn't really be possible otherwise).

Now, super-t makes it possible to pick up more windows now, so we should probably do a re-design here tbh.

I agree with both of your statements. I find it super annoying, that it picks up a seemingly 'random' window. 2-3 times a day I end up needing to reorganize 5-6 windows due to not noticing this (and being used to the default gnome behavior of one-window-at-a-time).

The picking up with a separate hotkey makes sense, as you can actually pick what you are picking up (else you have to have the windows you want to pick up active in all workspaces, needing setup).

I agree this makes workspace management a real pain. There isn't a way to quickly move things to the correct workspace with keybindings it seems. I've resorted to using the overview and manually dragging windows for now.

Super-T picks up a window[s] which you can then move freely. But yeah, Super+Ctrl+above_tab/Page_Up/Down doesn't work well in it's current form, and we should probably change it back.

Edit: we should also probably just ship #259, which enables picking up windows with the mouse and moving around with it.

Super-T works pretty well - wasn't familiar with that yet. Thanks!
