Introducing Virtual Desktop commands a full suite of commands that turns your desktop into a modern window management experience. Assign `Open Desktop 1–10` to shortcuts like `Alt+1` through `Alt+0` to instantly switch desktops, and bind `Move to Desktop 1–10` to `Alt+Shift+1` through `Alt+Shift+0` to quickly move windows where you need them. Toggle on `Auto Close Empty Desktops` in the settings and when a desktop becomes empty, it closes automatically to keep your workspace tidy. 
Note: This feature is available only on Windows 11, version 24H2 or later. Coming soon to 23H2.
