How to move a window to another space without using the mouse?
I use spaces for having multiple desktops, but often need to move a program from one space to another.
I am aware of the various ways to do that with a mouse:
- Click-and-hold on the title bar of window and drag to edge
- F8 to show all Spaces and drag to desired location
- Click-and-hold on the title bar, and use Ctrl+# or Ctrl+Scroll Arrow
But have not been able to find a keyboard-only method. I use Linux for one of my primary workstations which has this ability and I would LOVE to use it with OSX as well.
While dragging a window, press key combo to move window to numbered space:
- Control + 1
- Control + 2
- Control + 3
- etc ...
EDIT: For Lion, I had to go to System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts -> Mission Control and enable these hotkeys.
SizeUp
You could have a look at SizeUp, which has been recommended on apple.se at least once before - it has some nice keyboard tools for throwing windows around multiple monitors (as I use it) and also for throwing them around multiple 'spaces'.
It's not free, but it's very useful and certainly worth the small registration fee.
