Dual screen devices are currently missing a way to easily move applications between screens #204

Description

@Raxcoms

In KDE, users can currently move applications between screens by

  • Closing the application on the top one and reopening on the bottom, which only works for some apps
  • Using the virtual mouse to drag the application to the other screen

A way to easily move the application between screens would be a nice usage improvement

Some users suggested adding controller shortcuts to move between screens
Hooking up a screen on the right click menu of apps on the sidebar could also be an option.

    I shared this over on discord a few weeks ago, just adding it here for the trackability
