Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
This could be rolled out with some other virtual desktop enhancements I've seen. Basically we can use a keyboard shortcut to move the window to adjacent desktops, as Search + Shift + [] does on a Chromebook.
### Scenario when this would be used?
It's just a timesaver. Smoother workflow.
