Thank you very much for your answer! I does not know what "Mays" mean,
but I just tried the the "Move window to upper|left|... workspace" (with
e.g. Ctrl+Up") and this does nearly exactly what I want! It moves the
focused window, switches the workspace at the same time and the window
still does have the focus - great!

Thanks a lot!
