Quickly place a window to another screen using only the keyboard
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I know that using Alt+F7, I can use the keyboard to move the window around. I can also use the "Grid" plugin of Compiz to position quickly the window around my current monitor. The grid plugin doesn't seem work across monitor however.
What I need is a quicker way to move the current window to the other screen. In my current dual-monitor setup, I find myself needing to move the focus window to the other monitor as I focus on working on something else (and move it back afterward).
If I use XMonad (or other tiling managers), this would be rather easy. However, many applications that I use (Gnome Do, MATLAB, image viewers, custom apps that I write, ...) do not work well with a tiling manager.
So my question is: is there a shortcut key combination that moves the currently focused window to the other monitor (and back)?

Install CompizConfig Settings Manager
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Run CCSM → Go to bottom (Window Management) → Go to "Put."
- Enable the plugin.
- Configure shortcut for "Put to next Output."
- Log out and back in again.
If the plugin put doesn't appear in CCSM, install the compiz-plugins package. (
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins)
EDIT: The required plugin package is now called compiz-plugins on 12.10 and higher. compiz-plugins-extra is still used for 12.04.

Alt+Ctrl + NumLeft/NumRight
for minimised window only (!) I found today in Gnome 3 @ Ubuntu 14.04.
i.e., if you wan to move maximized window, you may
'Win + DownArrow', 'Alt+Ctrl+ NumLeft/NumRight', 'Win + UpArrow'
or try to bind it..

After installing compizconfig-settings-manager → Run it → Go to bottom (Window Management) → Go to "Put."
Then you should try "Put within viewport" and "Put Left/Put Right". If the window is not on the edge of the screen needs double "right/left" to switch over screens. By default is with super+Numpad-Arrows.

Addendum: If the solution with Put plugin doesn't work.
Try to disable some features you don't use that may interfere. I left only Put To Next Output enabled and it started to work.

Disable the features in "Grid" plugin on ccsm, logoff/logon, and enable the "put" plugin with combination keys that you want. Works for me (ubuntu 16.04).
I enable some features in both plugin because I wanted move windows between monitors (using features on put), but I wanted keep the feature that resize the window by half of width of the current monitor (using features on grid).

Alt+Ctrl + NumLeft/NumRight
for minimised window only (!) I found today in Gnome 3 @ Ubuntu 14.04.
i.e., if you wan to move maximized window, you may
'Win + DownArrow', 'Alt+Ctrl+ NumLeft/NumRight', 'Win + UpArrow'
or try to bind it..

After installing compizconfig-settings-manager → Run it → Go to bottom (Window Management) → Go to "Put."
Then you should try "Put within viewport" and "Put Left/Put Right". If the window is not on the edge of the screen needs double "right/left" to switch over screens. By default is with super+Numpad-Arrows.

Addendum: If the solution with Put plugin doesn't work.
Try to disable some features you don't use that may interfere. I left only Put To Next Output enabled and it started to work.

Disable the features in "Grid" plugin on ccsm, logoff/logon, and enable the "put" plugin with combination keys that you want. Works for me (ubuntu 16.04).
I enable some features in both plugin because I wanted move windows between monitors (using features on put), but I wanted keep the feature that resize the window by half of width of the current monitor (using features on grid).

Thanks, I was looking for the Alt-F7 shortcut. First time I find the answer I was looking for, in a question.
