Research direction
Start by reproducing the consecutive Shift-drag behavior in FancyZones on Windows 11, using the reported PowerToys 0.99.1 setup. Trace the FancyZones window-drag and zone-snapping entry points, then verify that multiple windows can be snapped consecutively without releasing and pressing Shift again.
