Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
**Hold** non-primary mouse button instead of **Toggle**.
### Scenario when this would be used?
It is the same as Toggle, but only activates when needed.
I find that my Outlook crashes when I drag a PDF to a draft email while the FancyZones is toggled on. The Hold to activate mitigated this issue.
### Supporting information
The hold to activate the zones used to be a feature.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating FancyZones' current Toggle activation setting and the drag activation path; done means a separate Hold option activates zones only while the non-primary mouse button is held, without requiring Toggle.
