Move a window

[andyhau]

Summary

• It would be useful to use just keyboard to move a window.
• I would also like to suggest to move a window to a different screen by a minimum amount of keystrokes.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce a "Move" mode to operate in the following manner.

• User grabs (focuses) the window using "Grab" modes, Alt+Tab, Mouse Clicks or any other way.
• User presses a shortcut to launch the "Move" mode.
• An overlay per monitor with a hint appears.
• On hint selection and confirmation (Enter or Space key like in other modes), the focused window should move to a target monitor while preserving the same size and position relative to the monitor (i.e. if the window occupied top left part of the workspace on the source monitor, after movement it should occupy the top left part of the target monitor and have been scaled proportionally in mixed dpi scenarios).

Potential Edge Cases

• If the staring position of the window was between multiple monitors, the layout preservation mechanic can be either frustrating or faulty. An intuitive handling method for such scenarios should be devised (potentially preserve the size, and put on center screen).

Hi @andyhau, what do you think of the proposed solution. Is this something you had in mind?
