    Windows system utilities to maximize productivity (by peddamat)

    As a ratpoison [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.

    Grab it here: https://github.com/peddamat/PowerToys/releases/tag/v0.58.0-m...
