What the other person is asking is for the ability to drag windows between the small desktop previews on top. What I am asking is to be able to drag the windows of the current desktop to another screen and, at the same time, to another desktop using the small previews on top of each screen. These appear to be quite different conceptually, also because my issue only occurs in multi-monitor setups, whereas theirs can also occur in single-monitor setups. Oh, all of them? I think the Desktop Grid does this if you drag from the background. Can you see if that works for you? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #3) > Oh, all of them?

If you open the Desktop Grid effect with Meta+F8 and drag from the background (not a window!) all the windows of that virtual desktop will be movable to another desktop.

As I said in my previous message, though, that is not what I am asking. What I am asking is to be able to move a single window from Desktop A on monitor 1 to desktop B on monitor 2. Since I understand that this might be difficult to understand without a visual representation, here's a screenshot of what I would like to do. It is currently impossible: if I try to drag the window over the desktop 2 in the desktop preview strip on the monitor below, it simply moves to the monitor below but stays on the same desktop. Do let me know if it is now clearer. Ah, thanks, that does indeed help a lot! I was getting confused because virtual desktops aren't per-monitor; it's a global list. So you can drag the window to the other desktop in the strip on the screen it's currently located on. Am I understanding that you want to simultaneously move the window not only to another desktop, but also to another screen at the same time? Yes, that is correct! Got it now, thanks for your patience. |
