I'm using 11.10 - please can someone let me know how can I move programs from one workspace to another.

I'm used to the Gnome-2 style - is there a way to achieve something similar in 11.10?

  • You can still move programs from workspace to workspace (I do it constantly), maybe you are experiencing some kind of problem. – Cmorales Feb 02 '12 at 13:36
  • You are wrong! Just press Ctrl+Alt and then use an arrow key to switch to another workplace. – grahammechanical Feb 02 '12 at 13:37
  • i want to move programs from space to space ... i know how to move from space to space – Eytan batyha Feb 02 '12 at 13:41
  • you can move windows from Ws to Ws while in the workspace switcher (expo), just pick them up with your cursor & drag to another Ws. – doug Feb 02 '12 at 13:53

    how is this question not constructive? and why so many downvotes? – Ascherer Feb 12 '13 at 00:47
  • This question should be re-opened. I was wondering this exact same thing, the docs didn't answer it and the answer was here. – jcollum Mar 13 '13 at 16:48
  • All this question closing starts to bug me. Almost half the topics I find when searching via Google are closed. This really sucks. Here is a clear question and a clear working answer that helped me - wtf is your problem? – s.Daniel Nov 06 '13 at 09:44
  • This was a most constructive question, and @jrg's answer helped me to do what I wanted. – Don Branson May 26 '19 at 18:35

You can do it.

You can use Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Arrow key to move programs from one workspace to another.

I also made a fancy-smancy video showing you how its possible to drag windows between workspaces.

  • Works nice. Here are some more options: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39849/can-i-drag-a-window-onto-another-workspace?rq=1 – s.Daniel Nov 06 '13 at 09:50
  • Works on Ubuntu 20.04 :-) (moving between workspaces is the same just without the Shift :-) – jave.web Oct 02 '22 at 19:10
