After the GlazeWM [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31043063 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31043063] post, last month, I once again went down the Windows window manager rabbit hole, trying: - GlazeWM - https://github.com/lars-berger/GlazeWM https://github.com/lars-berger/GlazeWM - nog - https://github.com/TimUntersberger/nog https://github.com/TimUntersberger/nog - win3wm - https://github.com/McYoloSwagHam/win3wm https://github.com/McYoloSwagHam/win3wm - workspacer - https://github.com/workspacer/workspacer https://github.com/workspacer/workspacer - amethystwindows - https://github.com/glsorre/amethystwindows https://github.com/glsorre/amethystwindows - MaxTo (paid) - https://maxto.net/en https://maxto.net/en - AquaSnap (paid) - https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap https://www.nurgo-software.com/products/aquasnap As a ratpoison [https://ratpoison.nongnu.org/ https://ratpoison.nongnu.org/] user, a decade ago, returning to the rigid window management of i3-based window managers, no longer appealed to me. MaxTo provided much of the experience I was looking for, but random crashes when using multiple desktops and my inability to get custom recipes triggering correctly had me look elsewhere. FancyZones offered much of the functionality I liked about MaxTo, BUT it did not support keeping maximized windows within a defined zone, so, I added this feature. It's a bit rough around the edges, but works perfectly for my current workflows.

Just pushed a commit that adds a flag to the Settings page, allowing you to toggle the behavior on and off. New v0.0.2 installer available at original link.
