<h1 dir="auto">Steps to reproduce</h1>
<p dir="auto">I have two overlapping fancy zones, but they have areas that don't overlap. In v0.11.0, this worked fine allowing me to choose different size zones depending on the area of the zone I drag to. In the latest version 0.14.1, the larger background zone can't be selected no matter what I do.</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Expected behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">Ability to have multiple zones overlapping but choose which one based on where I drag my mouse</p>
<h1 dir="auto">Actual behavior</h1>
<p dir="auto">the smaller zones in the foreground always take precedence, there is no hitbox for the background zone<br>

<p dir="auto">The larger zone at the bottom left is impossible to hit in the new version. In 0.11.0, I could choose between larger zone and the two smaller vertical zones by varying where I place my mouse during dragging. This is extremely useful for a window with video in it versus a window with lots of text or command line interfaces.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Description</strong><br>
If you have created multiple zones, it is a pain to rotate a window through each of the zones until you get the one you wanted. This functionality would allow to assign a shortcut to each of the zones. For example, Win + Shift + 1 would assign window to Zone 1, Win + Shift + 2 would assign window to Zone 2, and so on.</p>
<p dir="auto"><em>What is the expected behavior of the proposed feature?  What is the scenario this would be used?</em><br>
Enable a shortcut combination that allows user to send a window to the desired zone by using Win + Shift (or other combination) plus the number of the Zone.</p>
<p dir="auto">For those with multiple monitors, it may need a different shortcut to switch to another monitor first (or just make all zone numbers sequential).</p>
<p dir="auto">Using Shift and drag the window around is useful at times but it does not work if you have overlapping zones (In my case, I have 34 inch monitor divided in 6 zones. The two primary zones are 1/3rd left and 2/3 right. The 2/3rd is also divided into 4 equal zones - 2x2 setup. I cannot shift + drag over to the 2/3 zone because it always assigns it to one of the smaller zones).</p>
