Quickly place a window to another screen using only the keyboard
Install CompizConfig Settings Manager
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Run CCSM → Go to bottom (Window Management) → Go to "Put."
- Enable the plugin.
- Configure shortcut for "Put to next Output."
- Log out and back in again.
If the plugin put doesn't appear in CCSM, install the compiz-plugins package. (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins
)
EDIT: The required plugin package is now called compiz-plugins
on 12.10 and higher. compiz-plugins-extra is still used for 12.04.
I like Put to next Output with Ctrl + Alt + n
enjoy it!
Put at CCSM.

Use window key+shift+arrows this will move window quickly between monitors
Works on maximized as well as non maximized windows.
