[...] You can also speed up the Spaces transitions by adjusting the time it takes to drag windows between desktops. [...]

It does if you set “To switch directly to a space” to “^ Number Keys” in the spaces preference pane.

Thanks for the trick. Do you know how to set the delay for launching expose when clicking and holding mouse on an icon in the dock? in my opinion this delay is a little bit to long now.

@Kevin: You must have something else installed that’s doing that, because Spaces.app doesn’t do it on its own.

There’s a far simpler way to do this already.

Grab a window with the mouse, like you’re going to drag it somewhere…

While holding the mouse button down hit the number of the desktop you want the window moved to (1, 2, 3, or 4) and the control (ctrl) key at the same time.

The desktop will instantly switch to the selected desktop number, and your window will now be on that desktop.

I just did this by clicking and holding the mouse button down on the title bar of Firefox and hitting ctrl & 2 at the same time. This window is now on desktop #2.

Just a note that if you want this to take effect (or play with settings to get the feel you want) right away you’ll have to follow it with:

killall Dock

which restarts the dock without logging out/in.
