SUMMARY I would like to to move a window to another workspace within another activity from desktop grid view. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Trigger Desktop grid view. 2. Hold and move the window. 3. Trigger Change to next activity. 4. Change to another activity can't happen from within Desktop grid view. OBSERVED RESULT I trigger Desktop Grid view. I left click and hold on a window from the current workspace. I can't move to another activity while dragging the window. EXPECTED RESULT I trigger Desktop Grid view. I left click and hold on a window from the current workspace. I hit shift+tab, I swap the activity to another one. I move the window to a workspace within the new activity. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2

This allows for example to let the user create a new tab in his text editor/file manager and move it to another instance. Additional reasoning: This feature could be especially useful for the user. Say when working with an upwards of X workspaces. We get interrupted(say friends went online and they started communicating with you, initially the user talks within his activity workspace, but it starts extending heavily, the user now wants to move all the chat windows to another activity[I found it that managing a large number of workspaces gets really taxing, and I would love to see the KDE workflow improve even further]). Part of this request: User might want to move a file using hot corners, from say the dolphin window, into another window within the desktop grid into another program. This goes hand in hand with moving a File into another activity, or detaching dolphin tab into another workspace/activity.

Thanks for the observations. However each bug report can only have one issue in it, not several. Can you please open new bug reports, one per issue? Thanks! See also https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#One_issue_per_Bugzilla_ticket for background information and reasoning regarding why this policy exists.
Oops, closed the wrong bug, sorry.
