I had an interesting idea for a new mode for FancyZones. Not sure if i'd use it all the time, but it could be useful in some situations.

Imagine a "flow mode" that works sort of like the way a browser "flows" elements. When you open new windows it would resize the current windows and re-layout the windows to fit them all.

Obviously there would have to be some limit or it would become unusable after a point, but the idea would be to dynamically resize the zones to fit content.

Anyone else find this a useful idea? Or just an annoying hinderance?

There is no question mark, so I use eyes to represent, something that seems interesting.

That idea seems like some kind of tiling window manager, like those that you can install in linux.
It would be interesting, tbh.

Seems like duplicate of #2694 where it's described more in-depth. Personally I'd love it because that's exactly what I was looking for using tiling window managers on Linux.
