hot key to move one window to another screen (mac osx 10.10)

Solution 1:

Doesn't exists. If you want this feature you have to use an external program. For such thing, I use Moom (10$) where you can define a shortcut for it. Checkout the screenshot:

This let me use ⌥alt+⇥tab to move the active window to the desktop on the right.

Solution 2:

EDIT: As mentioned by @dbernard and Spectacle, Spectacle is no longer actively being maintained, the recommended alternative is Rectangle which is also free. Checkout Rectangle's github.

Spectacle works just as well and is free! See their github for more information.

Feel free to take a look at their keyboard shortcuts found here. The default shortcut for moving to "Next Display" is ⌃⌥⌘→ and you can configure it to whatever you want.

Works perfectly on 10.10.5 and 10.14.6

Solution 3:

On newer macos you can use the menu items to do this. This works in Catalina, havent tried with earlier macos versions.

Go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Shortcuts There create shortcuts for menu items corresponding to your screen. I have a macbook pro that is connected to a iMac in target display mode, so i get to see the following options in apps:

Window/Move to iMac Window/Move to Built-in Retina Display

I added shortcuts for these 2 window commands and assigned the same shortcut for both these commands as at a time only one of them appear on my system.

The exact menu items i used were: Window->Move to Built-in Retina Display Window->Move to iMac

I assigned these shortcuts Command + Option + Shift + N (⌥⇧⌘N)

No need for any third party tools for this functionality.

Solution 4:

BetterTouchTool can also do it: https://folivora.ai/

Gestures -> Keyboard -> Add new shortcut -> "chose your key combination" -> Trigger predefined action -> Move Window to next Monitor (or alternatively Move Window One Space/Desktop Left/Right.)

(a must have tool in my opinion, it can do many other awesome things)
