    I get that, FancyZones let’s you use keyboard shortcuts to move windows into custom configured zones. Typically I split my screen into a 2 up on the left, single in the middle, and 2 up on the right and I can move apps into those zones with just the arrow keys.

    The annoying part of any current Linux solution for me is I have to use the mouse and resize a window and move it into what would normally be a zone. I’d prefer to be able to never use a mouse and be able to move a window with shortcut keys into a predefined zone and size.

      Ah, OK. Yeah. So probably what you’re looking for is a “tiling window manager”. I’ve never used one so I can’t help, but that’s the thing you probably want to search for. I’ve been tempted to try one because using just the keyboard to move windows where I want them seems very useful, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.
