After having reviewed previous discussions on this board, it is apparent to me at DF does not support virtual desktops. I will therefore vote for that future feature. In the meantime, I am doing this through autohotkey. Thx

It's likely related to the 2nd point in this post: https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/windows-1011-known-issues/?ID=e71e1f5e-9e07-4f7d-b179-22253db2c30f

When windows are on DisplayFusion taskbars, they don't register to the virtual desktop so they appear on every desktop, which means it will grab every window when you try to switch

Move windows between monitors when running virtual desktops

I am writing this simple script which swaps all windows from one monitor to the other (ie., from monitor 2 to monitor 3 and vice versa)
The problem is that it seems to swap ALL windows in ALL virtual desktops (I am running 2 virtual desktops) instead of just the one virtual desktop visible.
Is there a simple modification for that?
Thx

IntPtr[] handles3 = BFS.Window.GetVisibleWindowHandlesByMonitor(3);        
            IntPtr[] handles2 = BFS.Window.GetVisibleWindowHandlesByMonitor(2);
    
        
        // loop through window handles and send each to the next monitor
        for (int j = 0; j < handles2.Length; j++)
            BFS.Window.MoveToMonitor(3, handles2 [j]);

        for (int j = 0; j < handles3.Length; j++)
            BFS.Window.MoveToMonitor(2, handles3 [j]);
