Thanks for the tips!

I personally hate key commands that take two hands. I also don’t like my window positions to change when moving from one Space to another…

A solution that works well for me is to activate spaces (I have that set to Cmd + F3) and then Expose all windows (which for me is Alt + F3) and THEN drag whichever application window to whichever space I want… Using Expose inside spaces like this causes any dragged window to maintain it’s position in the new Space.

All without putting down my coffee!

I recently started using MacOS X and I must say that spaces are pretty lame as compared to what any decent GNU/Linux distributions offer. Why do I even need to use my mouse? What I’d want is cmd+ to move window to given space and -F to switch to that space.

I have recently shifted to a Mac OS and everyday has been a discovery. I started using Spaces and was desperately looking for a shortcut to move application windows to different spaces and finally discovered the answer here. This is an invaluable tip! Love it! Thank you very much.

If you have a Magic Mouse, download Magic Prefs (free from the Apple site) and then you can bind mouse actions to Spaces. I have my “middle click” assigned to it, so whenever I middle click, I get to see all my spaces. Click it again to go back to whatever space I was on, or point/regular click to go to one.

very nice short cuts, I had been looking for something like this for a while and Im happy to have finally found them. BUT anything that involves moving the cursor to the top of a window and holding down the “clicker” is not really a keyboard short cut. I know Ubuntu has the short cut “ctrl-shift-arrow” or “cmnd-shift-arrow” (depending on your settings), thats soooooo much more convenient

Theo’s tip worked like a charm. Also easier to pull off.

Hi Joshua,

You forgot maybe the fastest combo available. Holding down the “clicker” as you put it, on the top of the window, and then pressing Ctrl – 1, or Ctrl -2, you get the idea

Interesting! I didn’t realize you could nudge the windows or use the keystroke to move to another Space. I’d been using F8 all this time. Pretty handy tip!

Sweet. This is a lot faster than the other 2 methods (F8+drag-n-drop and nudging windows towards the edges of the screen).
