Feature Request: move current window to another workspace about gnome-gesture-improvements

[harshadgavali]

I had tried to add #30, but i couldn't figure out how to animate maximized window moving to difference workspace.
I had tried by animating panel so it gives feedback that gesture is in progress .

but it has issue with dash-to-panel on multiple monitors.
so this might not end up happening.

You don't need the maximize animation nor a panel animation while moving a window to another desktop. It's just sliding to the next desktop (as normal) while holding the current window in place.

A possible way to implement this could even be to temporarily make the window "sticky" (pinned to all desktops) while doing the gesture. It could be done like this:

• Shift is pressed
• four-finger sideways swipe starts -> activate move window to another desktop
• run wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b add,sticky
• gesture is finished, Shift is released
• run wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b remove,sticky

The issue is if window is maximized so only window and panel is visible and gesture is started on that window, animation of window moving is not visible at all cause we only see window and panel.
So we can't know when gesture starts or when gesture ends.

For example try moving maximized window with keyboard shortcut, only indication that something happened is workspace-switcher popup window (which won't be shown for gesture animation)

I might try by showing popup window and animating it instead of panel

Oh I see what you are saying, that's true. Maybe just add the popup when the window is maximized. I wouldn't think it would be better to just do the popup though, for the gesture is so much better when it is not maximized.
