Keyboard hotkey improvements
Moving windows with keyboard
We backported the new improved version of keyboard window movement algorithm from
the professional version of Stack.
It provides more natural directional movement, especially with multiple screens or tricky layouts.
New hotkeys
We added two new configurable hotkeys.
- Reload Layouts (default - Win+Ctrl+R) reloads current layouts from disk, enabling layout editing without restarting Stack
- Select Layout (default - Win+Ctrl+L) shows a new layout selection window with previews on the current screen, that spares the need to go to the tray menu
'Which mouse button to use' setting
You can now change which mouse button is used to drag windows between zones.
Better handling for broken layout files
In the preview versions of Stack, an attemp to load a broken layout would show a notification,
and load a blank layout with a single zone instead. In this version, we accumulate all the layout
issues, and display them as an overlay, which should help debugging custom layouts.
