Better support for Virtual Desktops

[kylescousin]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I come from a Linux environment and recently had to also install Windows for building a .NET application. On Linux I rely heavily on virtual desktops to organize applications. Windows has them but has limitations on using them efficiently. Would be handy to be able to:

• Switch between virtual desktops with eg. WIN+1, WIN+2, WIN+3, ... etc. This can be done with CTRL-left and CTRL-right, but it does not give any indicator what the current desktop is and it's inefficient. I'd prefer to switch directly to the desktop number.

• Move windows between virtual desktops with eg. SHIFT-WIN+1, SHIFT-WIN+2, ... etc. For example if Spotify is focused, pressing SHIFT-WIN+3 would move Spotify to desktop 3.

• Have an indicator on the screen when you switch desktop that shows the name or number of the virtual desktop.
  .

Scenario when this would be used?

Work-related apps on desktop 1, IMs on desktop 2, Music on desktop 3, File browsers on desktop 4, etc..
