Hey,

Sometimes using Safari I have several windows open. I would like to know is there a keyboard shortcut that allow me to move the current window to another desktop?

Thanks.

I think he means to another desktop (spaces) on the same monitor, not a different monitor
But I could be mistaken too

I am not aware of one, but that doesn't mean their isn't one
I usually drag it to a new desktop
 
Under system prefs - keyboard - Keyboard shortcuts select the mission control part and you can enable the "Switch to desktop x." If you do that, you can just click and hold the top bar of a window, hit your shortcut, and it will put it in that desktop.

Not sure if that is exactly what you're looking for or not.

Nice, sounds like what he wanted
I'll have to check that out myself

That's EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you very very much that was great! :D
However, it involves using both hands - maybe there's a way to use only one hand ? :)

I just 3 finger swipe up to bring up mission control and drag the window to whichever desktop I want.
 
Keyboard shortcut? ...but there's nothing that will move it to another monitor. You can drag it to another monitor.

Well, yep there is. BetterTouchTool. You can use a keyboard shortcut to move to not only another monitor, but different locations on that monitor (center, bottom half, maximize, etc).
