Right-click `move-win-vd.exe` → **Properties**.\n2. At the bottom of the **General** tab, check **Unblock**.\n3. Click **OK**.\n\n### Recommended Setup: PowerToys Keyboard Manager\n\nThe most convenient way to use this tool is to bind it to keyboard shortcuts via [PowerToys Keyboard Manager](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/keyboard-manager).\n\n1. Install [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys).\n2. Open PowerToys and go to **Keyboard Manager** → **Remap a shortcut**.\n3. Add the following shortcuts:\n\n| Shortcut | Program | Arguments | Effect |\n|----------|----------------------|--------|--------|\n| `Win + Ctrl + Alt + Right` | `move-win-vd.exe` | `r /s` | Move window to next desktop and follow |\n| `Win + Ctrl + Alt + Left`  | `move-win-vd.exe` | `l /s` | Move window to previous desktop and follow |\n\n**Tips:**\n- Use the full path to `move-win-vd.exe` in the Keyboard Manager configuration (e.g. `C:\\Tools\\move-win-vd.exe`).\n- Add `/w` if you want wrap-around behavior at the edges.\n- If you only want to move the window without switching desktops yourself, omit `/s`.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## Command Line\n\n```\nmove-win-vd.exe r|l [/w] [/s]\n```\n\n### Arguments\n\n| Argument | Description |\n|----------|-------------|\n| `r` | Move the active window to the **next** (right) virtual desktop |\n| `l` | Move the active window to the **previous** (left) virtual desktop |\n\nThe `r` or `l` argument is required.\n\n### Options\n\n| Option | Description |\n|--------|-------------|\n| `/w` | **Wrap around** — if at the last desktop, move to the first (and vice versa) |\n| `/s` | **Switch** — also move your view to the destination desktop |\n\nOptions can be combined freely.\n\n### Examples\n\n```\n# Move window to the next desktop\nmove-win-vd.exe r\n\n# Move window to the previous desktop, wrapping around if at the edge\nmove-win-vd.exe l /w\n\n# Move window to the next desktop and follow it there\nmove-win-vd.exe r /s\n\n# Move window to the previous desktop, follow it, and wrap around\nmove-win-vd.exe l /s /w\n```\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### Shortcuts not working with PowerToys FancyZones\n\nIf you have FancyZones enabled with **\"Override Windows Snap\"** turned on, your custom shortcuts may stop working — even if those key combinations are not used by FancyZones at all. This appears to be a side effect of how FancyZones hooks into keyboard input globally when that option is enabled.\n\n**Fix:** Disable **\"Override Windows Snap\"** in FancyZones settings, or reassign your shortcuts to key combinations that do not involve arrow keys.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## Development\n\n### Building\n\n```\ncargo build --release\n```\n\nThe binary will be at `target/release/move-win-vd.exe`.\n\n### Release Process\n\nBelow is the process for releasing a new version on GitHub.\\\nJust a reminder for myself :smile:\n\n1. Go to **Actions** → **release** → **Run workflow**, enter the version number (e.g. `1.2.3`), and run it.\n   - This automatically updates `Cargo.toml` and `Cargo.lock`, commits the changes, and creates + pushes the `v*.*.*` tag.\n   - Then, the app is built and a draft release is created.\n2. Once the workflow completes, go to the GitHub releases page, find the draft release, review the content, and publish it.\n3. Don't forget `git pull` to update your local repository with the new tag.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fryomo%2Fmove-win-vd","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fryomo%2Fmove-win-vd","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fryomo%2Fmove-win-vd/lists"}
