[Bug]: Unable to move window to screen via keyboard shortcut. Still a problem.

[KirilOkun]

Summary

With a 2 screen setup the keyboard shortcut can move window from the main screen to the other one but not back. Instead of moving to the main screen the widow shifts from its tiled position to the left a a couple of centimeters. Using Move to the right shortcut tiles it again.
This problem has been reported in issues 370, 360, and 218. None of the workarounds described there worked and the problem still persists. This exact functionality worked fine in Krohnkite on this same Kubuntu 22.04 box with all of the latest updates installed.

Steps to Reproduce

Use keyboard shortcut for Move-to-Next-Screen

Expected behavior

Window moves to the next screen

Wow. days passed and no response to a critical bug. I guess if you have only a single monitor it's fine, but anybody with multiple monitor setups better stay with Krohnkite. Bismuth is not ready for production use.

I have the same issue.
I noticed that the "Window to Screen X"-Shortcut is a native one from KDE-Plasma. Is the movement of Windows to another screen even supported by Bismuth?

Version: 2.3.0ubuntu1 amd64 (from the apt repository)

KDE Plasma: 5.26.5

@realPaulsen yours to s the first response to this bug. This project is dead. Use Krohnkite instead. It works as it should.

Currently having the same problem. One workaround is to make the window/client you want to move a floating window (as it seems to stop whatever is preventing it from moving), or change the layout to floating altogether and than move any window by shortcut.

Not a nice solution, but It somewhat works for my purpose (multimonitor setup + if one monitor is switched to another input, I want to move all clients to the remaining screen).

@KirilOkun Please try to be more informed and do a better research before commenting

1. The project isn't dead, last action was 3 days ago.
2. The bug has a probable fix, you can find it here Fix the inability to move windows between screens #419. I tested the fix and it worked for me.
3. Having tested Krohnkite and Bismuth on the same installation, I can safely say that
   a. Bismuth is more responsive and better integrated with the DE
   b. It offers window gaps settings without needing added scripts
   c. Handles tiling better by offering distinct layouts that i couldn't find on Krohnkite such as Spiral and 3 column.
