Hi There!

Disclaimer: Yes, I know Windows 10 is in Tech Preview, unstable, feature incomplete and what I am asking for may not be feasible now or may even be covered by Microsoft in the future. But if you don't ask how will you know? And with that I pose my suggestion.

Little backstory:

I've always been an avid user of Technical Previews and I was over the moon with the Windows 10 one. Especially Virtual Desktops. I use DisplayFusion and VirtualWin for my work PC to manage my workflow. I only have two screens and web development generally requires both.

I've got a setup where I've got Chrome + Inspector on my left screen and my right screen has Skype smallest width and Visual Studio. I use 2 function in DF to snap on my main screen windows to the "Skype Snap" (Secondary) or the "Visual Studio Snap" (Main). Then I use VirtualWin to provide 4 desktops. 1st being general, 2nd being work and 3/4 whatever.

The biggest advantage I have with VirtualWin (Never tried Dexpot) is key mapping. Skype is set to show on every virtual desktop always. I have 9 Key Mappings:

- 4x Switch Monitor
- 4x Move Window to monitor (Switch Monitor + Shift)
- 1x Toggle window to show on all Virtual Desktops

This makes for a really easy power user workflow.

The Suggestion:

What I was hoping to see was DisplayFusion implementing functions for the Windows 10 Virtual Desktops. That way I can use the awesome Windows 10 Desktops and still get all the functionality I like with VirtualWin on my Windows 8.

My Function Ideas:

- Change to Desktop X
- Move Window to Desktop X/Left/Right/New
- Toggle Show Window on all Desktops

I'm sure there are tons more, but unless adding Functions are easy I think this would need consideration time anyway!

Thanks for reading,
Oliver

P.S: If suggestions are supposed to go somewhere specific sorry, I tried looking.

Interesting idea! We'll likely wait for the final version of Windows 10 before implementing specific functions like that, but I'll definitely add this to our list to review when Windows 10 goes final :)

Thanks!
