Just figured out a key shortcut for moving windows between screens

I was getting tired of dragging files and windows from one monitor to the other all day long. After about 3 weeks of frustration, I finally tried Windows key + Shift + Arrow key and it moves the active window instantly to the other screen. Has anyone else found a similar trick that saves a few seconds here and there?

Makes sense - right click the taskbar and enable "Show windows side by side" for quick splits too.

Wait, is that the same as what I've been doing where I just drag two windows to opposite corners and hope for the best? In my experience, @mila_craig4, the taskbar option is way more reliable than my clumsy manual method. I always end up with one window covering half the other or a weird gap that just screams "I learned computers in 2005." Your tip is a lifesaver for someone like me who still fumbles around with window snapping like it's a puzzle.
