Deepin: shortcut to move window to other monitor

Question

I use manjaro deepin and even thou I love this beautiful desktop environment I really miss a keyboard shortcut that let me move a window from one monitor to the other (2 monitors).

I already tried the next script I used on XFCE:

yaourt -S --noconfirm xorg-xprop xorg-xwininfo xorg-xrandr wmctrl
git clone https://github.com/calandoa/movescreen.git
sudo mv movescreen/movescreen.py /usr/bin
rm -rf movescreen//usr/local/bin/movescreen.py
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/bin/movescreen.py

Menu | All settings | Keyboard | Application shortcuts | Add

/usr/local/bin/movescreen.py left Ctrl+Super+Left

/usr/local/bin/movescreen.py right Ctrl+Super+Right

but it didn't work. I tryed adding this shortcut using deepin Control Center, not the XFCE way.

How can I add a command to move a window to left/right monitor?

There is an easier (and probably also better) way to this using gsettings.

I suggest using the dconf-editor to modify gsettings. It is also possible to do the following from the command line directly via the gsettings command, but the visual editor is much simpler.

The following is the set up for Fedora, tested on Fedora 30:

1) Get the dconf-editor:

sudo dnf install -y dconf-editor

2) Open up the editor and look up the path to the keybindings

From the gnome terminal:

dconf-editor

3) Open up the settings and set the shortcuts as described in the picture above (or use your own shortcuts)

And you're all set

Answer 3

In the dconf-editor, setting the move-to-monitor-left and -right did not work for me. But move-to-side-e and -w works.

On manjaro this is how I do it:

system settings -> shortcuts -> global shortcuts

then search for window to next screen

In my case I have used a custom shortcut Meta + N
