MoveToDesktop is a lightweight, open-source utility for Windows designed to fill a missing feature in the native virtual desktop system: the ability to move application windows to other virtual desktops instantly via keyboard shortcuts.
Normally, Windows forces you to press Win + Tab and manually drag windows with a mouse to switch them between workspaces. This tool bypasses that process entirely. Key Features
Global Hotkeys: Move the active window immediately using the WIN + ALT + Left Arrow or Right Arrow shortcuts.
Context Menu Integration: Adds a “Move to Desktop” option directly to a window’s title bar right-click system menu.
Customizable Behavior: Edits via an .ini file allow you to configure whether your view automatically follows the window to the new desktop or stays put.
Admin Support: Running the program as an Administrator enables hotkey manipulation for privileged tasks and windows. Limitations & Compatibility
Windows 10 Focus: The original repository by Eun on GitHub was built specifically for Windows 10.
Windows 11 Issues: Due to underlying architectural changes in Windows 11’s virtual desktop API, the original tool frequently breaks or fails to function on newer OS builds. Modern Alternatives
