Bug Description

Compiz used to have a "put" plugin which allowed users to use the keyboard to move a window to another monitor.

I have RSI and using the mouse aggravates this to the extent that a day of regular mouse usage will result in several days of pain and restricted use of my arm and hence restricted use of the mouse and hence restricted use of the computer.

Frankly, there ought to be a revamp of Ubuntu to make it more user friendly for people who cannot use the mouse.
