feat: Activate region shortcut for FancyZones #34963

Open dluo-sig opened 1 month ago

dluo-sig commented 1 month ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Provide an assignable keyboard shortcut to each zone, which will activate the topmost window in the assigned zone when pressed.

Scenario when this would be used?

This would provide an easy way to switch applications on large workspaces. When you are working across multiple monitors, or even one very large one, you might have 5-10 applications to work with. This becomes less efficient as you have more applications that you are working with. Alternatively, you can use the mouse, but it would be nice to be able to do all this without taking your hand off the keyboard.

The other similar issues linked by the bot are for moving the active window to a specific region, rather than for switching between applications.
