Love the app! Some feedback regarding Shift trigger, Trackpad behavior, and Zone spanning

[Ayanami-Shinji]

Hi,

I just purchased MacsyZones and I really appreciate your work! It is by far the best alternative to FancyZones on macOS.

I would like to suggest a few improvements to make the workflow even smoother:

1. Flexible Shift-Key Triggering Currently, the zones only appear if I start dragging the window first and then press Shift. If I hold Shift before I start dragging, the zones do not activate. Request: Could you make the trigger logic order-independent? It would be great if the zones activated regardless of whether Shift is pressed before or after the drag starts.

2. Three-Finger Drag "Drop" Behavior I use the macOS Trackpad with "Three-finger drag" enabled (Accessibility settings). Currently, when I drag a window into a zone, I have to tap the trackpad again to confirm the placement. Request: Could you support "Drop on Lift"? The window should snap into the zone immediately when I lift my fingers off the trackpad, matching the native macOS window dragging behavior.

3. Zone Spanning (FancyZones style) I miss the ability to snap a window across multiple zones. Request: In PowerToys FancyZones, if you drag a window to the border between two zones, it snaps to fill both. It would be an amazing addition if MacsyZones could support this cross-zone spanning.

Thanks again for the great tool!

Best regards

Hello, Thank you so much for your support. ❤️ I'll review your request later carefully but let me comment on Three Finger Trackpad Snap thingy; I tried it previously and seemed like it requires a driver and it is a bit problematic because MacsyZones will need to add a driver which requires extra permission steps.

As far as I have seen, macOS still provides some events from trackpad but they seemed like they are not enough to make a proper Three Finger Snap Gesture thingy.

Thanks for your feedback. I'll give a proper reply soon.
