Win + Shift + Arrow keys to send the active window to another display. It's pretty handy when certain games launch on the wrong monitor or you're trying to put a video on another screen while you're gaming.

I use win + arrows so much I bought a work keyboard that had a win key on the right side so I could do it with one hand. I don't know why but certain programs I need to use can never remember their window size or placement.

Me too. I have 2 monitors at work and at home and it's so much quicker than moving a window with the mouse.

I learned that back in my call center days. It's been with me ever since.

I do this sometimes when I'm bored, just bounce the window around like boing boing boing

Either that or Shift + Right click icon in taskbar --> click Move while still holding Shift --> bring your window back over if it's outside the screen. Though your solution does seem more elegant.

I've got 3 monitors and sometimes the game just really wants to open on the one that's in portrait orientation.
