First of all, I did the usual exercise: searched Google, bug list and mailing list with no luck, so here it is.


How one move a window to different activity in one command?

The way I have to do it right now is to select the destination Activity TWICE from the "Activity" list on the window's menu.


So I want to move this window from "Jeune" to "Work" Activity.

I also tried Ctrl, Shift, Alt, and Meta while clicking the "Work" activity (just in case).


No joy. It's still there, and now "All Activities" is checked.

At this point I have to click the "Work" activity *again*, OR, I switch to "Work" and click the "All Activities" to make it 'local'. The first one smells like a bug, while the second one is exactly like the tiresome way to move window between desktops (you click the "On all desktops" button, switch to the destination desktop, and click the same button again).


Is this the expected behaviour? Or did I miss a setting (or two) here?

I agree that the way to select activities isn't optimal, sometimes I also want to move a window from activity to another. If you have a better idea you might want to post it to the Brainstorm section.

So there's a wish for that: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=272768
