Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcut behavior in FancyZones on v0.101.2362.0 and compare it with the prior release while moving a window. Trace the handling of Shift+number and the alternate Win+Alt+Ctrl+number shortcut; done means Shift+number switches between personal layouts during window dragging again.
