This repo contains my personal fork of PowerToys, tweaked to play better on UltraWide monitors.

Please see the official project page, Microsoft PowerToys, to learn more about PowerToys.

• "Maximize In Zone", which overrides window maximize behavior to keep windows sized within the zone you placed them in
  • The behavior can be overridden by holding "Shift" while maximizing
  • See discussion here for further details
• "Auto Zoning" all currently unzoned windows when starting/initializing PowerToys
• "Auto Zoning" any new windows, which have never been previously zoned, to the currently active zone (zone under the mouse cursor)
• "Auto Zoning" new child windows over their parent window, in conjunction with "last known zone", if their parent window is currently active
  • Detailed rationale for this feature here: fdf5597

Below is a rough video on how the feature works:

• The first part of the video demonstrates the current behavior.
• Then, it shows the flag being enabled in the Settings window.
• Then it demonstrates the new behavior, first via clicking on the "Maximize" button, then via double-clicks on the title bar.
• Finally, I demonstrate the "override" behavior, by hitting the "Shift" key and maximizing the window in various ways.

The code should be considered alpha, so use at your own risk. Even better, take a gander at the code to make sure it's sane.
