10.5: Move apps between spaces with the app switcher

Grab a window's title bar and then use Command-Tab to switch to an application which you know resides in another space -- hey presto! The clicked window is transported to the new space for you as soon as you release Command-Tab.

If, like me, you keep Safari in one space and iTunes in another, this is handy for when you're watching a movie in iTunes and want to watch while surfing. Just grab the movie window and switch to Safari and you're done. It just works, as I expected it would when I had the idea to try. The grabbed window even retains focus, so it's just a more intuitive way to switch spaces without having to reach all the way across the keyboard to hit Control and the arrow keys or numbers.
