I would like a Shortcut key to toggle between different zone configurations.

This would allow me to create several zone configs. (3 column, 4 column, ones for different tasks, etc.), and then swap between them without having to open the Settings window.

maybe something for #1032 but it is something we'd need to think from a multi-mon stance. it is actually a lot more edge case based as well with laptops when you change layouts

Example: going from work to home, i go from 2 to 3 monitors. What happens when you go to 1? My primary at both work and home is a 4k, not the laptop.

The editor needs to account for that. Hard problem due to that

Also Virtual Desktops

@shawnweisfeld @marcon89 Hey everyone, I'm currently working on a feature to implement Hotkeys to quickly switch between FancyZones custom layouts, and would love to get your feedback! If you're interested, please fill out this 3-min form.

Feedback from anyone else who would need such a feature is welcome as well.

My suggestion shortcuts

  • Normal: drag -> hold Ctrl (instead of Shift)
  • Switch layouts: drag -> hold Ctrl -> press Tab.
  • Switch layouts (backwards): drag -> hold Ctrl & Shift -> press Tab.
