Snap windows to zones
Arrange windows with the mouse and preview their destination.
Place a window
- Activate a layout for that monitor and desktop.
- Drag the window by its title bar.
- Hold the configured zone modifier while dragging; this is usually Shift.
- Check the highlighted zone and destination preview.
- Release the window to snap it.
One or several zones
The highlight shows the destination that will be applied. If your selection spans several zones, check the entire area before releasing. You can move the window again or position it freely when your task changes.
If no highlight appears
Check that the zone engine is enabled, a layout is assigned to this desktop and monitor, and you are using the correct modifier. An application running with elevated permissions may prevent movement by a launcher with different permissions.
The built-in zone engine provides this workflow without installing another tool. Use capture to save this arrangement as a reusable task.
