SUMMARY
It would be greatly appreciated if the window context menu and the task manager context menu could be made more similar. Currently, there are a few key differences, such as the absence of "hide/show border" and "move to screen" options in the task bar menu. It would be helpful if these two menus were to be more aligned.

Thank you

I have the same problem, that I miss the "move to screen" option in the task manager context menu

I support the suggestion:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465875#c1 comment #1 of duplicate 465875 says:

"Reasonable request to bring it on par with the window decoration menu.

For now you can right click on the window decoration and find "move to display" there."

The window decoration menu contains:
Move to Desktop
Maximize
Move to Screen
Minimize
More Actions
Close

The Task Manager offers several entries, that very from application to another, on top, then
Start New Instance
Move to Desktop
More Actions
(un)Pin to Task Manager
Close

It would be helpful, if the Task Manager would offer the "Move to Screen" option either in the context menu itself or the "more" submenu for the following - for me - fatal reasons:

1) I often move the laptop between no, one small or one large external monitor or two externals
-> often enough the windows are re-placed after switching the monitor "situation" and one or two windows disappear outside the currently visible screen on the monitor(s)
2) a monitor becomes instable or blurs or switches resolution.

When you cannot see the window or it is outside of visible range, you cannot click on its window decoration to get the menu from there.
However, you can manage to see all windows of all screens of this virtual display in the task manager of one of the remaining screens, but there the "move to screen" is missing.

It would be helpful, if all the entries of the WD menu would be available in the menu of the TM, too. Maybe, if that's easier, add it as further submenu of the "more actions" submenu, so those entries do not clutter the main TM menu, if that's an concern.

Has there been any movement on this? 
It's one of the main roadblocks for me to switch to Plasma.

I did attempt to edit plasma-desktop/applets/taskmanager/package/contents/ui/ContextMenu.qml and duplicate the menu item found in desktoppackage/contents/configuration/shellcontainmentconfiguration/Delegate.qml and while it compiles with kde-builder , I couldn't get it to show up at all (I assume I am doing something stupid or obviously incorrect).
