Description of the new feature / enhancement

  • When using multiple displays, I should be able to select multiple open Windows/apps and move them to the other display. Or move all at once;
  • At the moment I have to move one by one;
  • Also, there should be an option to move them also to a different Virtual Desktop;

Scenario when this would be used?

  • I see two main usages:
  • Organization: some times you want to organize your environment and needs to move multiple windows;
  • Before presentations, I like to "clean" my display that is going to be shared over Microsoft Teams. Then I have to move all windows to a different display before the presentation;

Isn't this part of #16 as well?

I guess it should be part as well.

I took a look on #16

And I saw that there the request is to move all the windows (edit: move one window only) to a different virtual desktop. And my request is to move all (all at once or multiple / selectable) the windows from one display to another. But they could be combined as one feature request:

  • Add option to move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one display to another;
  • Add option to move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one Virtual Desktop to a different Virtual Desktop and selectable Display if more than one;
  • The important distintion: you should be able to move the windows "with or without you". This makes difference for the option:
    "when you move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one Virtual Desktop to a different Virtual Desktop and selectable Display if more than one;"
  • This way it should be the user preference if he wants to move also immediately to the other virtual desktop or only the windows;

Sorry about this. You're right, your request is different.

This feels like an odd behavior when i look at it. To me, this feels like you want a new virtual desktop and cherry pick what moves over

#16 would be a dependency of this no matter what as well
