The fact that Windows still doesn't have a shortcut to move windows between Virtual Desktops is mind boggling to me. I had to download an AHK script just to replicate basic features included in KDE, Gnome and probably most of the tiling WMs.
Ctrl+Win+[Left or Right Arrow]
(Edit: misread the comment, shortcut is still valid for moving focus between virtual desktops)
That seems to move your focus to the separate group of open programs rather than moving your focused program to the separate group which is how I read the request, but that's one I've been offhandedly wondering about but too lazy to look up, so thank you.
That shortcut simply switches which virtual desktop is currently active and showing onscreen. What they mean is there is no shortcut to take the active window (in the active virtual desktop) and move that window into the next virtual desktop.
To be fair, windows literally didn't have virtual desktops until a version or two ago. Which is mind boggling given Linux had it in the 90s
It also didn't have tabs in the file explorer for the longest time. I remember having to download some random exe from a dodgy site just to have them in W7
MS software also doesn't play nice with virtual desktops. Opening excel files or answering teams calls yanks you all over your workflow.
Alas, working an Excel job in a non-tech field, I fear I will suffer Windows the rest of my working life ☠️
