Description of the new feature / enhancement

Will enable to move applications and windows between virtual desktops without de necessity of a mouse.

For example, I have 2 virtual desktops configured, if I need to move between them, I can do it with ctrl + win + left or ctrl + win + left however there`s no way to move a program like vscode ou the file explorer between these virtual desktops without dragging the window or using the mouse.

A simple implementation would be ctrl + shit +win + left or ctrl + shit +win + right would send the active window (or program) to the next or previous virtual desktop and would change to that desktop after.

Scenario when this would be used?

To anyone that uses virtual desktops and wants a faster more reliable way to transition apps between virtual desktops

For developers or people that have several virtual desktops can be really cumbersome to keep relying on the mouse for something that should take less than a second to be accomplished.

Supporting information

Found a way to do it via the AutoHotkey program.

^+#Left::
  WinGetTitle, Title, A
  WinSet, ExStyle, ^0x80, %Title%
  Send {LWin down}{Ctrl down}{Left}{Ctrl up}{LWin up}
  sleep, 50
  WinSet, ExStyle, ^0x80, %Title%
  WinActivate, %Title%
Return

^+#Right::
  WinGetTitle, Title, A
  WinSet, ExStyle, ^0x80, %Title%
  Send {LWin down}{Ctrl down}{Right}{Ctrl up}{LWin up}
  sleep, 50
  WinSet, ExStyle, ^0x80, %Title%
  WinActivate, %Title%
Return

Would be great however to have this inside Power tools with more options.
