  • @AviationWP
    @AviationWP 2 года назад +1

    Thank you for this! I've had a 49" Samsung for a year and finally decided to search for the ability to snap to three columns!
    Windows 10 has a "Side by Side" option but when you try that on a 49" monitor WIndows 10 shrugs, throws your windows wherever it wants and then runs away crying.
    Windows 11 offers an option in each Maximize link at the top of each window which is a good start for Redmond, but I've been using Windows since DOS, 3.1, 98, 98SE, XP, NT3.5, NT4, 2000, 7, 8, 10, etc--I've learned you do NOT install a new Windows version until 40 years after its release so the end user beta testers can get the bugs out.

    I can't thank you enough. I disabled the 'shift' key, so now I can just drag to the column I want (running 3) and release! I can also drag all the way to left/right for a half screen (windows default) or up top for a full screen fill. But being able to drag to 3 columns on my ultra-wide is so convenient.

    @MangoTangoFox 2 года назад

    One thing I wish this had was some kind of mouse gesture control. I keep my left hand off my keyboard pretty often while just doing daily tasks, so holding shift and shift+ctrl is a bit of a pain. Windows 11 solves this with the snap feature, by allowing you to snap a window to various layouts by hovering over the square top right button or by dragging to the top of the screen. BUT you can't customize those layouts... If FancyZones had a thing where you could wiggle the window in a circle to toggle basically the shift+ctrl hotkey, that would work perfect for activating zones even multi-zone combinations like I use, all with just the mouse hand without custom keybindings.
