feature ideas for kzones

I have some feature ideas for kzones. I didn't want to open multiple issues so I'm putting them all in one issue.

  • Add layout name to the top slide-down zone selector
  • Show the top slide-down zone selector when cycling through layouts and highlight the active/selected one (replacing the current cycle layouts box): Some of us don't alway remember what a layout looks like by the name. So when we're cycling layouts, it would be good to see a visual of the layouts.
  • Allow selecting a specific zone from any of the layout boxes when you have zone overlay active: With the zone overlay, you have to move the window to/near the zone you want to move to. If you're on one end of the screen on an ultrawide, that's a long distance the mouse has to go. Instead, when you show the overlay, if you could go to the closest layout box and then select a zone in that layout box, that would mean less mouse travel. I can explain more if this is confusing.
  • Keyboard shortcuts for going forward/backward or next/previous when you're cycling layouts: like alt+tab and alt+shift+tab
  • Use right mouse click to cycle through layouts when you're in the zone overlay (while moving a window to resize)
  • A special keyboard shortcut to cycle layouts but only when zone overlay is active: I know the Cycle layouts works when the overlay is active but it would be nice to send a simpler shortcut, like ctrl, when the zone overlay is active. You wouldn't want ctrl to be the normal shortcut -- only when the overlay is active
  • Keyboard shortcuts to select a zone when the overlay is active: When the overlay is active, each zone could have a customizable single letter keyboard shortcut to quickly select that zone. I can elaborate if needed.
