This.

I run PowerToys Fancyzones with the following options:

- Disable the shift modifier so that the zones highlight when dragging any window by default - Enable the second mouse button as a modifier (so you can disable snapping when using the mouse by tapping the right mouse button as you drag the window) - Enable the option to allow for win+arrow keys to move windows between configured zones vs the default snapping options

Using this config, plus leveraging the default config which allows you to merge zones by holding the middle mouse button is hands down one of the best workflows I've found. It's one of the biggest things holding me back from migrating to Linux full time (outside of some special development workloads that make it easier to run windows + wsl than Linux + a Windows VM).

I run a 40" 4k with two 30" vertically oriented side screens. My side monitors are split into 1/3rds. My main monitor is split into 6 zones. Three of the zones are simply quarters (approximately 1080p per window). The top left I have split into two zones, but using the middle mouse trick I can quickly merge them into a "normal" quarter zone.

I think mouse centric and keyboard centric WMs both kind of suck. What I like about my setup is that it works with either option and works well
