Can't remove resizer while in FancyZone editor with a mouse

[victoriacheng15]

I made some mistakes when I was trying to set up zones, but I couldn't delete the unwanted zone. I looked at the pop-up window (screenshot below), it looks great for people who prefer to use the keyboard to manage zones and resizers. However, I had to figure out how to delete resizer with a mouse. I read the FancyZone doc, and it doesn't have any explanations on how to do so. Maybe, the doc could add a short clip or screenshots to show how to delete the resizer with a mouse?

@crutkas - Thoughts on adding this additional explainer to the docs?

[crutkas]

we do directly call this out. You don't delete zones for grid based layouts, you merge them to another. Maybe we do "To merge/delete zones"?

To merge zones: select a zone and hold the left mouse button and drag the mouse until multiple zones are selected, release the button and a popup menu will show up. Click "Merge" and they will become one big zone. This is how a zone would be deleted, by merging it into another zone.

I played around a bit, and now I see what you mean. I was looking for the keyword delete and didn't realize that merge zones do the same thing. I believe To merge/delete zones would be clear to show readers that you can manage zones.

Looks like this update was added in #3836
