I just configured kind of this feature this weekend :)

I used (hjkl) as in vim. But bellow I changed to the keys you intend to use.

The bindings bellow permits you to send (and follow) windows through 'pages' and 
'desktops'.

# key bindings

# moving to the 'next' (n) or 'previous' (p) desktop,
# using n, p and Meta-Shift

Key p       A MS funcSendAndGoToDesk -1 0 2
Key n       A MS funcSendAndGoToDesk +1 0 2


# moving left,up,right,down through the pages,
# using the arrow keys with Meta-Shift

Key left    A MS funcSendAndGoToPage -1p  0p
Key up      A MS funcSendAndGoToPage  0p -1p
Key right   A MS funcSendAndGoToPage +1p  0p
Key down    A MS funcSendAndGoToPage  0p +1p


# functions

destroyFunc funcSendAndGoToDesk
addToFunc   funcSendAndGoToDesk
+ I moveToDesk $0 $1 $2
+ I goToDesk   $0 $1 $2

destroyFunc funcSendAndGoToPage
addToFunc   funcSendAndGoToPage
+ I moveToPage $0 $1
+ I goToPage   $0 $1

The only problem I see is that when we 'change desktops', we loose the focus on the 
window we're moving. We can alt-tab to regain focus.

Besides this problem, these bindings function well.
