Summary of the new feature/enhancement

I want to be able to move windows between zones while also being able to use windows snap. Something like Win+Shift+Left and Win+Shift+Right for moving between zones.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Add a Shift modifier for the shortcut key allowing users to move windows between configured zones.

Do not use Win+Ctrl+Left and right because that is already used by windows to swap between virtual desktops

Hi @kylelawrence
Win+Shift+Arrow is already used by Windows to move windows to another monitor.

Looks like Win+Alt+Left/Right are still unused. There's also Alt+Ctrl+Left/Right.

We also need to reserve a shortcut key to move windows to virtual desktops.
Only viable solution would be to make it configurable.

I'd also love to see this feature as I constantly find myself having to touch the mouse during an otherwise "keyboard focused work" only to move a window to some fancy zone which can be really distracting at times.
