Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Currently when dragging a window to an edge of a monitor, the window will snap to Windows' default snap positions.

It would be pretty cool if FancyZones could override this interaction to snap to a FancyZone

I've been using FancyZones for several minutes for my 21:9 display, and I already miss this feature. It would be awesome to permanently replace the built-in 50:50 (I work with a simple 1:2 layout).

@mortalvombat Shift+dragging should work for you.

It does not work. If I push my window against the screen edge, it still snaps it to the built-in 50% area :( and it does not work at all with Visual Studio. Microsoft's flagship productivity tool for professionals. Yay.

For the screen edge do snap into the Windows built-in zone, the linking issue is #13644 and this is a suggested enhancement for FanzyZones.
For Visual Studio compatibility, please raise a new issue for this. Thank you and be safe!
