Introduction
Super FancyZones! Just like FancyZones except super.
Getting Started
Grab FancyZones.exe from the bin directory or \\wexfs\users\bretan\proto\superfancyzones and run it
Dragging windows
- While dragging a window around, zones will appear that the window can be dropped in. Dropping the window in a zone will position it in the zone.
- While dragging a window, you can hit number keys to cycle the active zone set. Eg, drag a window around and hit the '3' key will change to a zone set with 3 zones.
Hotkeys
- Win+~ - opens the zone viewer/editor
- Win+ctrl+number - cycle through layouts with the corresponding number of zones (only if Override snap hotkeys setting is enabled)
- Win+left arrow, Win+right arrow - move foreground window between zones
Zone Viewer/Editor (Win + ~)
- Hitting a number key cycles through layouts matching the number of zones (eg 3 cycles through layouts with 3 zones)
- R resets the focused monitor back to defaults
- C clears the current layout so you can start fresh
- W opens a dialog to choose wallpaper
- Left click moves the zone to the top
- Right click moves the zone to the bottom
E enters editor mode (hit E or Escape to exit editor mode)
- Left/Right/Up/Down arrows adjust the grid spacing
- PgUp/PgDn adjust grid margins
- Ctrl+left click splits the clicked zone in half horizontally
- Ctrl+right click splits the clicked zone in half vertically
Options
Default Drag Mode
- None - don't do anything when dragging windows around (shift enters normal mode, ctrl enters adjusted mode)
- Normal - show zones when dragging windows around (shift disables, ctrl enters adjusted mode)
- Adjusted - show zones when dragging windows around with an accelerated cursor
Display change
- Move windows - automatically move windows around when display changes
Virtual Desktop change
- Move windows - automatically move windows around when virtual desktop changes
- Change wallpaper - use custom wallpaper per-monitor per-desktop
- Flash zones - flash zones on each monitor
Miscellanious
- Override snap hotkeys - steal hotkeys normally used by shell (win+left/right, win+ctrl+num)
- Colorful zones - use colored zones in zone viewer
Known issues
- See open bugs for full list of issues
- Win+left and Win+right don't move between monitors
- If you use Virtual Desktops, make sure to perform at least one virtual desktop switch before launching the fancyzones (it relies on a volatile regkey that explorer writes)
- Sometimes you have to click on a zone viewer window before it gets keyboard focus when opening views with Win+~
- Quickly switching virtual desktops with win+ctrl+arrow hotkeys can crash fancyzones
