Description

**Describe the feature you'd like**
It would be nice to have the option to set specific keyboard shortcuts to specific tiles.

For example, if I set my first layout to have three zones laid out horizontally, I would like to use CTRL+OPTION+NUMPAD1 to move a window over to the first zone, CTRL+OPTION+NUMPAD2/3 for the second and third zone.

But another layout could be a grid of two by two and I would like to use CTRL+OPTION+(double arrow keys) (top left, top right, bottom left, bottom right) to refer to those zones and have the window instantly move there.,

I am now moving windows around till they are in the correct spot and have to switch layouts while doing that, If every zone could optionally have its own keyboard shortcut that would me save me a lot of time.

**Additional context**
I use Magnet on macOS and that has a really nice interface for creating zones and allows for multiple zones to overlap (like your different layouts) and for each of those zones to have its own keyboard shortcut. Magnet is not as chique as tiling shell but that single feature makes it worth it for me and that feature would greatly increase the usability of tilling shell for me. I would even pay for that single feature to be added/
