I then map those functions to my windows touchpad gestures so I can four-finger swipe to move a window (along with mouse cursor) to another split based on the swipe-direction. Or hold down SHIFT while doing the same gesture to resize the window into the direction's split. ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#14 Mon, 22 Jun 2026 18:33:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#14 DisplayFusion

My workaround is:
  • uncheck: [_] Enable maximized window dragging between monitors
  • install powertoys, create fancyzones (FZ) zones matching DF splits exactly, configure FZ to only activate when shift is held
DF splits are still useful in this scenario since FZ zones do not support maximizing windows within the zone but works great for DF splits.


I'm in love with FZ, the main reason why I wanted to give DF a try was precisely for the maximizing windows within a zone. If FZ had such function I wouldn't have considered DF. But then I come to try DF, and thank god there is a trial and I start to find this little "quirks", and I am super discouraged from buying a license. I can live with the lack of maximization of FZ, sure I have to drag the window to maximise to the zone, but at least there's no little things, at least in my experience.

Its a shame that in 6 years, this has been added as a request and never implemented, this shows a bit of lack of care in my opinion,simply becuase this is a licensed product. With FZ you can't expect anything, it's free after all. ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#13 Mon, 22 Jun 2026 14:53:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#13 DisplayFusion My workaround is:

Hello,

Ah, my mistake. This currently isn't possible but we do have it open as a feature request. I've added your vote to it, and if we have any information on it in the future, we'll be sure to let you know.

Thanks!


It's been 6 years since this was opened, and until today this feature has still not been implemented. I am currently using the trial version as I needed a good alternatine, but this, I think will be a big deal breaker for me! ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#11 Wed, 16 Aug 2023 20:35:53 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#11 DisplayFusion

Actually, just learned hot to fix the issue I was having here. Hopefully helpful to others. Go into Setting > Window Management, and then disable the first check box labelled: "Enable maximized window dragging between monitors"


But this removes the VERY useful (to me, anyway) function of actually dragging maximized windows.

DF - please add me to the list of people desiring to drag ANY window to ANY monitor and REQUIRE some KEY PRESS to FORCE a MAXIMIZE of the window when it is dropped on the new monitor location.

Oh, if it is not planned, please ALSO provide that same functionality when (shift)middle-clicking window caption to move to alternate monitor. If KEY is pressed, MAXIMIZE. If not, keep same size. ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#10 Wed, 08 Mar 2023 04:07:37 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#10 DisplayFusion Actually, just learned hot to fix the issue I was having here.

I'd prefer the maximizing to a window split to be "opt-in" using the modifier key rather than opt-out by default using the modifier key.

I use the splits every day in my work on my ultra-wide monitor, but often times just moving a window not already maximized that I am floating on top of everything I don't want it to start maximizing to one of the splits. I'd rather have to hold the modifier key in to make it snap for specific windows only. ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#4 Fri, 06 Nov 2020 16:30:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#4 DisplayFusion Hello,

When I start moving a window, the screen shows: Drag to a split monitor to maximize
As I move the window over another slice, it says: Hold shift to drag window normally

So I just want normal window dragging to be the default ]]> RE: toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#2 Wed, 04 Nov 2020 16:18:10 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece#2 DisplayFusion Hello,

If you head to the Window Snapping tab in Display Fusion, you can adjust the snapping mode to "Only snap when modifier key is held down".

Hope that helps! ]]> toggle so that shift needs to be held down for splice dropping to occur https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece Tue, 03 Nov 2020 16:50:31 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/toggle-so-that-shift-needs-to-be-held-down-for-splice-dropping-to-occur/?ID=171ec3e2-f39a-4078-ac15-3beadb65cece DisplayFusion Current, splice dropping is enabled by default and shift is used to move window normally. Can there be an option to flip that so the slices are ignored by default and shift is needed for them to react to windows. ]]>
