**Highlights**
- Keyboard manager now supports Numpad. Note, with previously bound hotkeys stored in settings.json would only react to non-Numpad keys now. If a user wishes to restore the previous behavior, it could be done by manually adding another binding for the Numpad variant.
- Keyboard manager now allows Numpad keys to be bound separately from the main keyboard. If using a previous configuration, only the main keyboard (not numpad) keys will be mapped. To restore the previous behavior, manually add separate bindings for numpad keys.
- New utility: Crop And Lock allows you to crop a current application into a smaller window or just create a thumbnail. Focus the target window and press the shortcut to start cropping.
- FancyZones code improvements and refactor.
- Modernized ImageResizer UX.
