Description of the new feature / enhancement
I would like to propose a new feature that could enhance the user experience with FancyZones. Currently, when a user double-clicks on the title bar of a window, the default behavior is to maximize the window to the entire screen or subsequently restore to the original window size. I believe it would be beneficial to have an option to override this built in Windows functionality. Please add a feature to allow the double-click functionality of a window's title bar to "snap" the window to the FancyZone that closest to the mouse cursor or the middle of the title bar, instead of maximizing to the entire screen.
This feature could be toggled on or off in the settings, allowing users to choose between the traditional maximize/restore functionality or the proposed FancyZones snap functionality.
Scenario when this would be used?
The default Windows maximize behavior works well when using multiple displays, however the default functionality is less useful when using a single large format widescreen monitor such as a 38 or 40-inch display. This feature would provide a quick and intuitive way for users to organize their windows using FancyZones. It would also make the process of snapping windows to FancyZones more seamless and integrated into the overall Windows experience. Maybe even add a layout zone template to split the screen in two halves with double-click support.
