var idOfDesktopMovedTo = Desktop.moveWindowRight();
// ... same for left
idOfDesktopMovedTo = Desktop.moveWindowLeft();

// Switch to an identified desktop
var idOfDesktopSwitchedTo = Desktop.switchTo("123");
// Switch to a desktop to the left/right of the current
vidOfDesktopSwitchedTo = Desktop.switchLeft();
idOfDesktopSwitchedTo = Desktop.switchRight();
