Sorry about this, but i just can't get it to move windows to other desktops..

the preferences says the shortcut is Ctrl - Command -> (that being right arrorw)

even when i click a window, and press those keys, its just moves to the next desktop, instead of moving the window....


what am i doing wrong? :eek:

your help would be great! thanx alot

MacUpdate is one of many.
Just makes more space on the desktop, less cluttered, which should mean more productive, as you know where certain windows are (you can name each desktop).
Well worth a try.

apple+ctrl+right/left moves windows perfectly fine for me while apple+option+left/right moves to different desktops

all i can say is make sure you're pressing the right keys? other than that.. try uninstalling and reinstalling the program and see if that helps.
 
I have found the easiest way for me o move windows between desktops is just to minimize it to the dock, switch desktops, and expand it there.
