In the settings, go to windows management, scripts for KWin, then click on get new scripts (don’t know the exact names as my is isn’t English, but you’ll find out). Here you will find in the most downloaded the script KZones.
Install it and you will have a good replacement for the powertoys zones. You just need to edit the layouts to your convenience. For exemple, I have a portat screen so I did a simple layout for putting windows in the upper half and lower half of the screen.
I use both, Fancy Zones and Gnome, but I like (one of) the gnome version(s) better.
Mainly, the Gnome version puts a quick toggle on screen for switching layouts with the mouse, and it makes better choices about what windows to display when shifting between windows with Alt+Tab.
Is there a Linux application that does what fancyzones does?
If you are under KDE, there is a plugin for this, but I don’t recall the name. I’ll tell you later when on my computer. I use it everyday.
So it is a separate app you have to manually install?
Kind of like PowerToys itself?
No, this is a plugin for KDE.
