Add a keyboard shortcut for spaces

I would like to add a keyboard shortcut that enables me to switch my current active window to adjacent spaces (right, down, etc). Is there any way to do this?

Macbook Pro 2.4Ghz, Mac OS X (10.6.5)

Yes. In the Expose and Spaces preference pane, select the Spaces tab, and then look under keyboard shortcuts. You can select a modifier key and arrows to switch left and right, or use a modifier and numbers to switch directly to a space.

Ctrl+arrow keys. Ctrl+1 to X to switch to a particular space.
See the Spaces System Preferences.

Im sorry, I must have poorly phrased my question. I would like to switch my current active window (ie the browser that I am typing from currently) from space one (my current space) to space 2 (to the right) using only keyboard shortcuts.
I know that I can click on the top of this window and use the shortcuts that you have provided to move it. However, I would like to move the window with only the keyboard.
