Is there a way to move the current window to another desktop without using a mouse in OS X?

Solution 1:

I think the best you can do is hold the window title bar with the mouse, then press Ctrl-1 (or 2, 3, 4, whatever). This requires using the mouse, but it's a little more convenient than other methods.

Solution 2:

As of 10.7 you can activate "mission control" and then drag-n-drop your window to whatever desktop group.

Solution 3:

If you install "BetterTouchTool", you can create a keyboard/mouse/gesture shortcut to either:

1. move application window to the other monitor,
2. maximize application window to the other monitor.

Works really well! Plus, "BetterTouchTool" has tons of other nifty features that you may find useful. It's free.

Solution 4:

Unfortunately, as of 10.5.4 at least, there is no way to do this using a keyboard shortcut only.

You can however do it using just the mouse, which also requires just one hand, by dragging the window to the edge of the screen. You can set more options for this using the Warp or Secrets preference panes (both free).
