[FancyZones] does not activate while holding down Shift key #6036
Comments
Out of curiosity, did you setup your fancy zones? Did you try setting a custom one and trying again? |
Hi, |
@anishre |
I can confirm that Fancy Zones quit working after the last update (v0.20.1) with any option for dropping on to zone. With "Hold Shift key to activate zones while dragging" enabled, zones do not highlight with selected "Zone highlight color" when a window is dragged with a shift key held down. Windows do not snap to expected zones when dropped. With "Override Windows Snap shortcut (Win + Arrow) to move windows between zones" enabled, Win + Arrow acts as normal (no override).

Yeap. Tried that as well, didn't work |
Thanks. I thought i was the only with the issue. |
This also just stopped working for me. It had been working fine for weeks but now I can't use the shift-drag. :( |

Uninstall/reinstall fixed issue. A machine reboot did not fix issue. |

@enricogior I never found anything in System Event Viewer that may give a clue as to why it quit working. Do you keep a log file somewhere? |

Tried this as well. Didn't work for me |
Same issue: Shift+Drag does not activate zones (zones do not appear on screen, no snapping happens, it just behaves like regular dragging as if I didn't have FancyZones). Win + left/right arrows does move the windows through the zones, so this is currently how I am using FancyZones (but I preferred the Shift+Drag method). If I turn off requiring the Shift key, then the zones activate without problem, but then of course it activates every time you drag anything, which is not what I want. Using the non-primary mouse button setting is not working. I'm not sure how it's supposed to work, but with that option checked, dragging while right-clicking does nothing (not even drag the window), clicking both buttons and dragging works just like the single mouse button. I tried this setting both with and without requiring the Shift key, and it seems like the non-primary mouse button setting makes no difference to anything. FYI, I am using custom-defined zones. I have multiple monitors but I tried unplugging one and that made no difference. I tried quitting PowerToys from the system tray and reopening it both as an admin and not as an admin; neither fixed the problem. I have not tried uninstalling PowerToys. I am using a Lenovo IdeaPad, Windows 10 (x64). |
It seems that the zones don't activate if a profile was created which spans multiple monitors. |
I have exactly the same problem and i work with two monitor. The checkbox "span across monitors" is not saved... Shift or WIN+ Arrow not work as espected. |
Issue has been resolved in the 0.21.1 update |
