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'.
--- 8< ---
# 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.
