[FancyZones] Zone activation using right click to drag

[ozihashmi]

I know there is a "hold shift or any non-primary mouse while dragging" feature.
But could it be possible to just have Right click dragging to enable zones?

Thanks

Hi @ozihashmi
it's technically possible but not trivial to implement and we don't have any plan at present to do it.
Currently you have to press both the right and left button to activate the zones and keep the right button pressed. In 0.19 we will change it and use the right click to toggle the zones activation.

There isn't really a point in this? Just use WIN + left or right arrow key's.

Accessibility is important, not everyone can use a combination of mouse + keyboard.

There should be a way to change these things then.

Thanks that would be great.

I did have a macro on my mouse that did that, but now im using it for another shortcut.
I am using left click and then holding down right button, but i always forget which one to release first (left mouse button btw) and then I have to do it again.
I also like the this better den Win+arrow because im able to se all my zones and it makes it easier to choose.

Still this tool really helped me a lot and thank you for that. This is just a request :)

I'll look in how to contribute and attempt to add this. There should already be a way to customize the keys as well as monitor settings without dragging things around and mucking around. I'll see what i can do.

However, I don't know much about this type of code.
Please keep this issue open since someone else may be able to do this before me.

Is this issue still relevant? Last message is 1,5 years ago and the right-click is changed in the mean time...
