Quickly place a window to another screen using only the keyboard

  1. Install CompizConfig Settings Manager Install compizconfig-settings-manager

    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
    
  2. Run CCSM → Go to bottom (Window Management) → Go to "Put."

  3. Enable the plugin.
  4. Configure shortcut for "Put to next Output."
  5. Log out and back in again.

If the plugin put doesn't appear in CCSM, install the compiz-plugins Install 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 Install compiz-plugins-extra is still used for 12.04.


I like Put to next Output with Ctrl + Alt + n
