Is there a keyboard way to move a buffer to another editor group?

Say I have my editor tabs split into two groups (windows, to use the
Emacs term). You can move an editor tab from one group to the other by
dragging and dropping its tab, but of course, that's a lot more
annoying than a keyboard shortcut! I use this kind of functionality a
lot to look at two editors side-by-side, so it would be really nice if
I could do it from the keyboard.

I don't think so, I also use this a bit.  I found that if I split the window horizontally, or vertically, then Load another source file (C-x C-f), it always loads in the top, or left window regardless of which window the cursor is currently in.

If it would load in the window group that you were currently in, that would help solve  your problem.

Actually, if the file is not already opened in your Eclipse session, it will load it into whichever stack you are in; but if it is already present then it just visits the already opened buffer in whichever stack contains it.

Just curious: what is the corresponding gnu emacs command for the behavior you desire?
