Summary of the new feature/enhancement

People with touchscreens that have no keyboard are unable to use the Shift key to activate Fancy Zones. The existing toggle allows the zones to always stay on, while dragging. However window will always snap to one of the zones.
Safe zone functionality will allow users to move windows around without snapping them, and snap them if and when required. A safe zone is an area inside each one of the fancy zones, where user can drag the window without snapping it.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add a significant padding (A zone within a zone) of about 25% or more. An outer blue area, as it is now, will show the zone itself, the inner blue box will be the area where a window would need to be dragged to snap.

I got this working with GESTURESIGN from Microsoft Store.
I configured FancyZones to activate when right clicking while dragging a window. In GESTURESIGN I set two finger klick as rightclick. This way FancyZones activates when tapping with a second finger while dragging the window with the first finger. I also set two gestures to press and release ctrl for selecting multiple zones. At the moment i have to manually release ctrl.
