Hotkeys for moving windows between virtual desktops

[TorsteinA]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

As a power user I would like to be able to be able to use the keyboard when moving windows from one virtual desktop to another.

Something like the shortcuts Win + Ctrl + Shift + Left | Right and Win + Ctrl + Shift + [Number] would be a very useful workflow when changing virtual desktops a lot. Exactly what the shortcut is isn't as important to me as just having one exist.

The current workflow for doing this is to press Win + Tab, then finding the window, click & drag it with the cursor and drop it over the virtual desktop where you want it placed, or to right-click the window and moving it to the virtual desktop where you want it. Both of these require the mouse to be used.

I know it's possible to get this functionality using AutoHotKey with some custom libraries and scripts, but this is a feature that should definitely be baked into Windows itself, or into PowerToys.

Scenario when this would be used?

As a Power user I would use this when setting up new virtual desktops. When I need a new virtual desktop, it is usually because I have opened too many apps/programs on one virtual desktop, and want to split the workflow into logical pieces (like moving all communications apps like email/Teams/Slack/etc to a separate virtual desktop).

As a power user, this feature would improve the efficiency that I can do the described virtual desktop setup, as well as the efficiency of how quickly I can move a misplaced window from one virtual desktop to another.

I would definitely love to see that in PowerToys.
@TorsteinA have you seen these implemented somewhere or you using AutoHotKey still?

#19 appears to be focused on jumping to a specific virtual desktop, which is different from moving a specific window to a specific virtual desktop. So, not exactly a duplicate.

Yes, I was thinking the same, and agree this isn't a duplicate.
