I’m not sure what fancy zones is, some kind of manual tiling as far as 10 seconds of search shown?
That is available in kde by default, you can change layout by pressing win+t, then when pressing shift and dragging a window it will highlite nearest tile and tile automatically.
Both kwin built-in tiling and most tiling wms include ability to make a window floating while other windows are tiled. Difference is in how window manager behaves by default, most popular environments float by default with ability to tile when needed. Tiling wms tile by default with ability to float when needed.
As I’ve said in previous post you can try kwin tiling without any long configurations, there is a default layout so you can just drag a window with shift pressed and there would be highlighted area where it would tile.
You might be able to do all the stuff you use fancy zones for using a tiling plugin or wm. I prefer Niri but the downside is all the tiling wms I’ve tried require you to setup zones in text files which can be a bit confusing and intimidating the first time.
Windows PowerToys still offers this feature, and the shortcut can be remapped and disabled.
I think I’ve got it set to triple Ctrl on my work laptop? Really helps reduce the accidental triggers.
As an aside - I’m still trying to find a similar solution to FancyZones for CachyOS, don’t suppose you have any suggestions?
KZones?
♥️
This looks very promising, will check it out when I get home tomorrow night!

My understanding was that tiling doesn’t allow overlapping windows, is that not the case?
I am a complete novice at this, to be honest.
