Predefined snap areas for apps #8691

📝 Provide a description of the new feature

Hey there,

I came across a feature that is mentioned in the video here.

A way to implement the feature would be the following:

Let's say you are a video editor, you have premier pro open, 2 explorer windows, 1 internet browser, and Spotify.

That is the works space. So I want to assign predefined areas for predefined apps.

There are two ways from here

1) Assign apps so they open on a defined fancy zone each time So any time say I open premier pro it opens in fancy zone -1

2) Press a shortcut key and then the app is moved to the fancy zone. When I press the shortcut combo fancy zone -1 is assigned to premiere pro

This is similar to creating workspaces inside apps.

Cheers.

Thank you.

If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.
