Hey, this is more of a PSA, but I recently discovered this microsoft supported and open source "Power Tools" they put out there.

 

Check it out here: Github Power Toys

 

Of the features that it adds to windows my favorite feature is.

 

Fancy Zones (for snapping windows to predefined ares) a more advanced windows snap utility.

Not sure, the github page doesn't immediately make a mention of it. Stating "Inspired by the Windows 95 era PowerToys project, this reboot provides power users with ways to squeeze more efficiency out of the Windows 10 shell and customize it for individual workflows."
