After using Linux Mint for a long time, I switched over to Manjaro XFCE today.
One thing I noticed is that Manjaro XFCE doesn’t seem to have native support for moving windows between monitors (not workspaces).
The vast majority of links online are about using xwininfo
/ using Ubuntu, or using different DE’s like KDE or Cinnamon.
Does anybody know how?
On xfce you will make use of this:
If you will install it system wide then need to:
chmod 755 move-to-next-monitor.sh
You also have to install this packages:
sudo pacman -Syyu xdotool wmctrl
Then you open:
Settings manager -> Keyboard -> Application shortcuts
Click Add
Click Open and direct it to your script
Assign a keyboard shortcut to it

See the XFCE FAQ entry, How can I see a list of all the shortcut keys? .
Then checkout move_window_key, Alt +F7 .
stargazer:
move_window_key, Alt +F7 .
That is to activate move wiondow under mouse, like a grab command. Then you move the window with the mouse.The OP is looking for a shortcut that will move a window from display1 to display2 the same way how you move it to another workspace.
Ahh, like kwin’s Window to Screen #.
That’s the one thing I really miss in xfwm is kwin’s window settings.
