I know how to move windows to another workspace, but I'm specifically looking for a keyboard shortcut to move a window to the other screen in a multi-monitor set, but without using compiz, since I'd rather not to install it. Is there such a shortcut? I'm on Gnome 3.16.

Thanks.

  • According to that answer, the unity keyboard shortcuts are supposed to work for gnome shell as well. – mchid Mar 22 '16 at 02:50

  • You basically want xdotool. With dual monitor set up, desktop is basically spread. For example screen 1 is from 0 to 1024 in width and screen 2 is starting on 1024 to 2048. I am on mobile so 8 cannot post complete answer right now, but look into xdotool , and its functions getactivewindow and windowmove – Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy Mar 22 '16 at 14:39

According to the Gnome website:

Select the window that you want to move (for example, using the Super +Tab window switcher).

Press Super+Shift+Page Up to move the window to a workspace which is above the current workspace on the workspace selector.

Press Super+Shift+Page Down to move the window to a workspace which is below the current workspace on the workspace selector.

  • Thanks but I know that, I wrote it in the beginning of my comment. I don't want to move the window to another workspace, but to another screen (or monitor) – FrankS101 Mar 22 '16 at 02:44
  • @FrankS101 sorry, the compiz talk threw me off. You know compiz isn't even compatible with Gnome shell anyhow. – mchid Mar 22 '16 at 02:47

This is it:

Ctrl + Alt + NUMPAD 4 (to the monitor at left)

Ctrl + Alt + NUMPAD 6 (to the monitor at right)
