Add option to move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one display to another and to different Virtual Desktops

[apmeirelles]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

• When using multiple displays, I should be able to select multiple open Windows/apps and move them to the other display. Or move all at once;
• At the moment I have to move one by one;
• Also, there should be an option to move them also to a different Virtual Desktop;

Scenario when this would be used?

• I see two main usages:
• Organization: some times you want to organize your environment and needs to move multiple windows;
• Before presentations, I like to "clean" my display that is going to be shared over Microsoft Teams. Then I have to move all windows to a different display before the presentation;

Isn't this part of https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/16 as well?

I guess it should be part as well.

I took a look on https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/16

And I saw that there the request is to move all the windows (edit: move one window only) to a different virtual desktop. And my request is to move all (all at once or multiple / selectable) the windows from one display to another. But they could be combined as one feature request:

• Add option to move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one display to another;
• Add option to move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one Virtual Desktop to a different Virtual Desktop and selectable Display if more than one;
• The important distintion: you should be able to move the windows "with or without you". This makes difference for the option: "when you move (all at once or multiple / selectable) open Windows from one Virtual Desktop to a different Virtual Desktop and selectable Display if more than one;"
• This way it should be the user preference if he wants to move also immediately to the other virtual desktop or only the windows;

Sorry about this. You're right, your request is different.

This feels like an odd behavior when i look at it. To me, this feels like you want a new virtual desktop and cherry pick what moves over

16 would be a dependency of this no matter what as well
