FancyZones is great. The biggest issue I have is that with an ultrawide monitor, it's a real drag to have to drag a window from one end of the screen to the drop zone on the other end.
I propose an enhancement to add a GUI zone selector that uses FancyZones' existing layout/zone configuration.
So the user would press a keyboard shortcut that would show a GUI, under the mouse, with a visual list of all the layouts and their zones. The user would then select the zone they want and the window and under the mouse would be sent to it.
It would be cool to add this kind of functionality to FancyZones. Ideally it would have the same/similar features:
Visual list of configure layouts/zones for a user to select
The GUI specifies the name of the window being moved
Option to specify which monitor the window gets sent to (with the current monitor selected as default)
Keyboard shortcuts to activate a zone when the GUI is open
Global keyboard shortcuts to send a window to a specific zone regardless if the GUI is open
I wrote mine cause I wanted this feature but, now that I'm done with it, I got to thinking it would be better/cooler if the feature was part of FancyZones.
Scenario when this would be used?
When you want to more quickly move and resize windows. This would be tremendously helpful on ultrawide monitors.

It's hard to explain but I have an AHK script for Windows that does what I'm talking about: https://github.com/imthenachoman/ExquisiteW.
