FancyZones - Maximize window by Win+ArrowUp in the top area when override windows snap

[hkcomori]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When a window is in the top area of the screen, I want it to be maximized by Win+ArrowUp.
(And after it to be cancel maximize by Win+ArrowDown)

Scenario when this would be used?

Temporarily maximizing a window in a small area.

Supporting information

Now, when Override Windows Snap is ON, I cannot maximize a window by the oparation.
It moves to the bottom area.

This actually somewhat works for me (but I have overwrite only on win + left/right, not up or down), but only when the screen is split into columns. My second monitor is in portrait mode and split into rows and win+up does not maximize the window. But I can use win+shift+up to stretch the window.

@hkcomori Do you have this option selected?

If you select Win + Left/Right to move windows based on zone index, you'd be able to maximize the window by Win+ArrowUp. Let me know if it helps.

@SeraphimaZ
Yes, I know the option but I want move windows based on relative position.
But, only when the window is in top zone of the monitor, I want to maximize it by Win + Up.

@pzvalenta
Thank you. I didn't know the shortcut.
If the monitor was split both horizontally and vertically, the stretch only worked on one direction.

@jaimecbernardo what do you think of this proposal?

[jaimecbernardo]

Sounds good, though some care would have to be had on multiple monitor scenarios where a monitor can be on top of another, I think.

@crutkas @dedavis6797 for prioritization.

@jaimecbernardo
I didn't think about multiple monitor scenarios.
Here are two suggestions:

• Maximize the window by Win + Shift + Up.
• Win + Shift + Up/Down/Left/Right to stretch based on relative position, and finally maximize.

In any case, I think it is very useful to be able to both "move based on relative position" and "maximize by keyboard shortcut".

If you need any inspiration, I like the way this is done in Rectangle (MacOS utility). Win + Enter could be the shortcut for fullscreen. As far as I know it isn't used in Windows.

Stretching based on relative Position is possible now, with Win + Ctrl + Alt + Arrowkeys

I like the Idea of using Win + Enter to maximize the Window, maybe Win + Shift + Enter could be used to minimize it.

Sorry for my late reply.
Win + Ctrl + Alt + Arrowkeys is very useful.
Thank you very much.

I also noticed the following hotkeys:

• Win + Ctrl + Up: Maximize
• Win + Ctrl + Down: Minimize

By using these hotkeys, my issue is solved.

@hkcomori

Where does one configure these hotkeys? I am having this issue and those key combinations do nothing for me.

@elliebbean
No individual key assignments seem to be provided.
In my environment, shortcut keys are enabled with the following settings.

@hkcomori
Strange - could that shortcut be provided by something else or are you sure it's coming from FancyZones?

[hkcomori]

@elliebbean
Sorry, this shortcut was still active when PowerToys was disabled, so it is not a FancyZones feature.
Thanks for your suggestion.
Unfortunately, where this came from, I still don't know...

@hkcomori
No worries, thank you for your help. I'll just have to figure it out with AutoHotkey.
