Thanks mfinifter,

I just tested the patch and so far it works nicely, however I think it would be 
great
if you could take a look at these issues :
* I would love the option to immediatly switch to the space to which I 
transfered the
window right after moving it there
* when moving a window from one space to another it does not get activated, 
result is
when I switch to this space and there is another window which is higher in the
Windowing-Z-Order it covers the window I moved there, wheras usually I would 
like to
immediatly continue working with the window I just moved.
* Additionally to having the option moving the window up down left right, it 
would be
great if the spaces where ordered in some kind of circular queue according to a
lexicographically xy sort, so that if I am at space 1 - move left - brings me 
to the
last space.
This would also improve that there's no error or feedback (like a screenflash or
beep) if I am at Screen 1 and try to move the window to the left space (this
initially puzzled me).

Please let me know what you think of these suggestions

Regards and thanks for the cool patch
Marco

(1) I tried for several hours to get this working, and eventually gave up on 
it. One
resource I was using was http://meeu.me/blog/dashboard-expose-spaces but I was 
seeing
strange behavior when it switched to a different space.  Once someone can get it
working, I would love for this to be a toggle in the preferences window.

(2) Hadn't even thought about this, but I agree.

(3) I did this intentionally.  Again, I would like for this to eventually be a 
toggle
in the preferences window.  Also, I like the idea of feedback for when you try 
to
move a window to a space that doesn't exist in the specified direction.

Feel free to work on any of this stuff if you want to; I don't think I'll get a
chance within the next couple weeks.

I'm just finishing my Multi-Monitor Patch (moving between monitors) which is 
almost
done (1-2 days) and then I'm gonna see what I can do with the spaces stuff.

If you are available again feel free to message me so that we can coordinate 
our efforts.
