Overview effect should allow rearranging windows in the preview BeOS-style +
rearrangement of VDs
So I’m not personally using this effect (I do prefer Present Windows & Grid)
but each time I’m testing it I’m irritated by not being able to rearrange
windows in the preview stripe.
There already is the workspace switching plasmoid, which is implementing what
I’m asking here. You can drag and drop windows not even to different VDs but
also on different *positions*.
BeOS has introduced this mighty concept in the 90s:

When you want to sort windows from your current VD to another VD, you have to
drag them from beneath the preview into the preview. This is intuitively. If
you then want to drag a window from a different VD to your current VD, you
first have to switch in the preview to this VD and then drop them – again –
from beneath into the preview stripe onto another VD. The expectation would be:
When it’s possible to drag them into the preview, it should also be possible to
drag them *out* of the preview and in between the preview.
There is also lacking a possibility to rearrange VDs.
As mentioned, it should also be possible to move window positions like with the
BeOS-resembling plasmoid. That love to detail makes both implementations feel
nifty.
