How to make focus move with a window that is moved by a keyboard shortcut? #956

An example of this is that using actions like SendToNextOutput or SendToWorkspace(3) the focus doesn't move with the window being moved, so that to continue doing things with that window (like doing those two actions in sequence and then using the window) I'd have to either do more keyboards actions to move to switch outputs, navigate to the window, switch workspaces, navigate to the window, or use the mouse to switch to it, which is all very painful, when it could be something like:

Super+Right and Super+F3.

Then even better, can one keyboard shortcut trigger multiple actions? So that that could just be Super+F3?

(What the actually shortcuts are doesn't matter, different people will have different preferences. Super+F3 is what I use in i3 to move a window to workspace 3, but in i3 there isn't a workspace 3 on each output, so it has one less complication that I hope will one day be tackled by pop-os/cosmic-workspaces-epoch#94.)

I saw someone mention MoveTo rather than SendTo. Maybe that is the answer to my question. I'll try it tomorrow and maybe close this.

Yup, that's it.
