I've checked the similar issues, both open and closed, ticket #14968 is very similar, but not quite the same. That said, that ticket was wrongly closed as it initially appeared to be a duplicate when it was not. Also want to clarify that this is not a duplicate of ticket #13689 either, they are different. :)
Why doesn’t win+shift+left/right arrow key work? That is the built in keystroke for windows for an instant swap. /needinfo

Hey @crutkas ,
win+shift+left/right arrow, allows you to quickly send a window to another screen, but, as far as I know, there is no shortcut to swap windows between screens in one go.
As mentioned in the ticket description, to use win + shift + arrow to do it, its always a multi step process.
For example, lets say you are testing something on a website you are developing on your main screen while having on your secondary monitor some sort of trace running on a IDE for the website you have on the main screen. If you wish to quickly swap window in the main screen with the one in the secondary one you would need to:
What I would be proposing would be a key shortcut that would allow to quickly and easily swap the "active" windows in each screen between screens.
Hope this description clarifies the difference between the existing windows/fancy zones functionality and the proposal I have, If not I can try to create a small gif or something to showcase it better.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
Say I have window W1 (e.g. Google Chrome) on monitor M1 (e.g. main monitor), window W2 (e.g. Microsoft Outlook) on monitor M2 (e.g. laptop monitor).
Frequently I need to swap the apps between screens. Currently in order to do this the steps would be:
Would be great if we could have a shortcut to quickly and easily swap content between screens.
Scenario when this would be used?
I have an "asymmetrical" monitor setup, as a lot of people do, where I have a "main" monitor and one or two secondary ones (e.g. laptop screen, vertical monitor, etc.).
Frequently I need to swap the window I'm using on my main screen with another on my secondary screen.
A few examples of this could be:
