Create the Best Linux shortcut to move your windows between workspaces

What I love about linux and the gnome desktop, are all the great customization powerups available.

One of my main go-to's is to configure the keys

super+shift+left = move window to left monitor
super+shift+right = move window to right monitor
super+shift+down = move window to lower WORKSPACE
super+shift+up = move window to upper WORKSPACE

To do this, open settings->keyboard-shortcuts

next, look for:
"move window to lower workspace"
"move window to upper workspace"
"move window to rightward monitor"
"move window to leftward monitor"

and set a shortcut key for each one.

Now moving your screens around will be much easier in Linux.

By the way, I am using PopOS 22.04
I love it!
