Keyboard Shortcut to Move Windows Across Multiple Monitors in iOS/macOS

Hello Apple Team,

I love the existing keyboard shortcuts such as Control + Function + Left/Right Arrow which allow moving windows to the left or right half of the screen. It significantly improves window management and productivity.

I would like to kindly request a similar feature to move windows across multiple monitors using a keyboard shortcut. This would be especially helpful for users with multi-monitor setups who want quick and seamless window transitions between displays without using the mouse.

Thank you for considering this feature request!

Best regards,

The right place to make your request is the one that dialabrain indicated.


Here, we are all users like yourself.


BUT we do know a thing or two from our collective centuries of mac usage 😁


If you typically use the same mac on the same desk, you probably use the same displays as well.

If so, then YOU can create the keyboard shortcuts you are asking for!


To illustrate my point: I use my mac at my home office with a Samsung 24" display.

Here is a screenshot of the Window menu in Safari, as I'm writing this post:



Note the command I marked in red.

Yours will be different, as you probably have a different display, but now go to

System Settings->Keyboard, click "Keyboard Shortcuts", then select "App Shortcuts"

and a shortcut for "All Applications", with the exact name of the command, and choose your shortcut.

For example, here is mine, after choosing the shortcut Command-Option-Control-Shift-S:
