Hotkey to Move Window to Other Monitor

Question

I'm running Linux Mint with Cinnamon using two monitors. Is there a hotkey combo that moves the window from the current monitor to the other?

I can hold Windows Key + left/right/up arrow to move/ maximize, however it doesn't allow you to move the window to the other screen.

Anyone know of one that exists?

On my Linux Mint 17.2 Cinnamon edition are predefined shortcuts Super+Shift+Left/Right/Up/Down Arrow. They move active window to screen on left, right, above, below (depending on the arrow key). It works even on fullscreen windows.

With Gnome 3, you can use Super+Shift+Arrow.

enter keyboard shortcuts

It might work under Cinnamon, since it is based on Gnome 3.

It works for Ubuntu 20.04 too!

Just use Super+Shift + left/right arrow.

Super is the key with Windows/Apple logo usually.

On Linux Mint Cinnamon Edition, the shortcuts can be found in the "Windows / Inter-monitor" category:

In Nobara Linux (GNOME 42.3.1), these short cuts were not set for me, but I was able to easily set them in Settings -> Keyboard -> View and Customize Shortcuts -> Navigation.

Shift-Super-Left and Shift-Super-Right now work for me to move windows between monitors.

Try using Ctrl+Alt+Shift+arrow.

It should move the active window to the desired screen.
