Description of the new feature / enhancement

If not using FancyZones, just the usual Win 11 way of snapping windows, Windows is able to group screens together. One can easily bring the entire set of windows to the front.

This doesn't apply for some odd reason to windows snapped in FancyZones.

Could you please implement this?
Thanks!

Scenario when this would be used?

To be used when wanting to bring a group of snapped windows that were snapped using FancyZones to the front. The grouped snap also appears on the toolbar preview.

I would love this feature. I love Windows 11 grouping where you can bring a whole set of windows with only one shortcut like alt+tabbing. But you can't do this with FancyZones, which is the only drawback of this PowerToys feature.

Exactly, this is a must-have feature that can make working with zoned content way easier, especially with a multi-monitor scenario. I always wanted to be able to have a shortcut that would allow me to tab ONLY between applications that are present on the active monitor (where the cursor is). I was hoping Windows Virtual Desktops would support such a feature where you could literally split your virtual desktops per monitor, but they never did, so maybe we could at least have it as part of the fancy zones? Ideally, it would be great if the default Alt + Tab shortcut could be overwritten to use this mode since IMO this should be a default behavior of tabbing usually.

I'm looking for this as well! A way to restore and switch windows together!
