The zones should be fully customizable and it should be possible to change between zoning layouts per monitor through a keyboard shortcut.įor example, I have the laptop monitor and an ultra-wide monitor. When I let go of left mouse button, the window will fill the zone, or I can cancel that by right clicking again while still dragging.

You can follow the link for a detailed explanation of all features of it, but in abstract, Fancy Zones is a tool for zoning your screen area, so you can place windows in these zones.

Power Toys is an open source toolbox that contains a lot of very useful tools for Windows 10+ and I use it on a daily basis at work.
