Description Me 2023-02-16 22:06:41 UTC
My workstation has 3 monitors. I have a panel on each monitor display area and I run task manager in each panel. I have each task manager set up the same:

- Group by program name

- Show textual list

- Combine into single button

- Show only tasks from current screen, from current desktop, from current activity.

I run multiple virtual desktops.

Recently I have experienced issues with KDE 5.27 beta getting the monitor setup all mixed up when disconnecting a monitor and reconnecting it. Between this and crashing issue with Firefox, my Firefox windows get shuffled to various virtual desktops and displays.

Resorting the Firefox windows is a pain especially when a bunch of them end up in the panel on the wrong display. When that happens I have to open each window individually and drag it to the correct display.

Right now Task Manager has the option of Move to Desktop to move a window or group of windows (if grouped by name) to a different VD.

I'd like the same thing for moving windows to a different display. So if a group of 20 Firefox windows gets moved to the panel on my side display, I can right click the group in task manager and move them to the center display where they were before my monitors got messed up.

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.
