FancyZones: Primary zone and forced tiling #29680

kszilagyi commented 10 months ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

With FancyZones, the user could nominate a primary zone. All other windows would be force tiled (could be dynamic or onto other zones). (It could be either force tiled or just prohibit overlapping - only difference is whether empty space is allowed)

Scenario when this would be used?

I usually use 2 or 3 monitors but use one of them as the primary monitor and the others as secondary. I have 4-10 windows open so FancyZones in theory would be a good fit.

There are several issues which made me stop using it:

Supporting information

I have never seen anything like this before, so I don't know. If you are aware of anything similar, please let me know.
