Description Harald Judt editbugs 2015-02-06 15:23:15 CET
Please change the following behaviour in xfwm4:

Menu->"move to workspace x" moves a window to the specified workspace, but does not switch the view to it (corresponding to libwnck).

Keyboard shortcut "move to workspace x" moves a window to the specified workspace and switches the view to it.

Desired status:
Keyboard shortcut "move to workspace x" moves a window to the specified workspace, but does not switch the view to it (corresponding to libwnck). Effectively, the keyboard shortcut should do the same as the menu item.


Use cases / reasons:
* If there are 3 windows I want to send to another workspace with the shortcut keys, I have to press the shortcut, then switch back to the previous workspace, then press the shortcut, then switch back to the previous workspace, then press the shortcut,... One can see this is really tedious, and I often use this to group windows belonging to a project on another workspace. Compare this to the effort the user would have to replicate the current solution (press shortcut key, press another shortcut to switch) which is only friendly to a one window move. Also, I will also need to remember the number from the origin workspace I need to switch back to after move & switch.

* This corrects using the same naming for different actions (move and switch vs send to).
