Bug description

"Move window to workspace NUM" keymap does not follow the window moved (does not change the workspace).
However, this works as expected for adjacent workspaces ("Move window to right workspace", for example)

Steps to reproduce

Open keyboard shortcuts, set some shortcuts for "Move window to workspace NUM" and try.

Expected behavior

The workspace should switch to the target one

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by configuring a shortcut for "Move window to workspace NUM" and compare it with "Move window to right workspace". Trace the implementation of the named move-window-to-workspace action; done means moving a window to a numbered workspace also switches to that target workspace without breaking adjacent-workspace behavior.
