Description of the new feature / enhancement

Right now the new window switching functionality for FancyZones can be triggered by a keyboard shortcut.

I'd really like being able to use it by double clicking (or middle clicking) on the title bar of the windows that are in the zone because sometimes I want to switch windows while using the mouse.

Scenario when this would be used?

I divide my screen in four areas. The bigger one is in the upper left corner and my browser windows live there. Bottom left is for Outlook. Notepad++ is in the bottom right. Trello and Obsidian are in the upper right corner.

I'd love to be able to switch browser environments or from Trello to Obsidian and back by middle clicking on the title bar of the windows in that zone.

I was thinking similar to Win+PageUp/Down, it'd be nice to flip between windows in the same zone by using Win+Scroll.

hi, i would LOVE this, page switching is good but a mouse alternative would make fancyzones really thrive as a window manager tool

win+scroll would be the best option

Just recently using fancyzones full time, and yes, win+scroll I think is the best, if not maybe win+mouse click. Oh, and if this implemented, it would be cool to have option like continuous switching (rotate to first window again).
