10.5: Move windows between Spaces via drag
Authored by: pfschill on Oct 30, '07 09:34:05AM
Arg, I am having a heck of a morning. I didn't mean to post my comment as a reply to a comment, then posted to the wrong article. 3rd times the charm I hope.

From my testing it seems that workspaces-edge-delay only takes whole seconds which seems very odd. A nice .5 is what I liked on Linux as I recall. I set mine to 0:

defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-edge-delay -int 0; killall Dock

It is a pretty rare occasion where I accidentally am dragging a window and bump the screen edge, so it works well for me to have it instantly move to the next space. You also have to hold the mouse still when you hit the edge. Any movement seems to keep the clock running on the delay.

workspaces-wrap-arrows changes the behavior if you use control + arrow to move to the next space. With it turned on it will wrap around. So with a 2x2 grid you can just keep pressing control+left to cycle through all the spaces. If you set this to NO it won't keep going. Once you get to space 2 it will stay there. You must go right or down to move

defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-wrap-arrows -boolean NO; killall Dock

The reason you could only set it to whole numbers was because you used -int (integer) rather than -float (floating-point). Integers, predictably, only allow inegers for their values, while floating-point values allow any number.
