Ability to choose which zone to use for Auto Snap #179

Is your feature request related to a problem? Or is it a new idea?

Unless I've missed something (quite possible), I cannot find a way to choose which zone to use when 'Auto snap all windows' is enabled. It always uses one of the zones that covers the centre of the screen (I have two, a narrow vertical one, and a wider one - it selects the narrow one, whichever order they have in the layout JSON, which I suspect is because the Zone Indicator for the narrow zone is nearest the middle of the screen*). It would be nice to be able to choose which zone auto snap should use.

*I've moved the zone indicators around so the wider zone indicator is in the middle of the screen, but it has made no difference; it still uses the narrow zone.

Hope that makes sense. :)

Describe the solution you'd like

An option, either in the settings GUI, or as an element in the layout JSON, to indicate which zone auto snap should use.

I'd imagine including it in the layout JSON would be easier, but might be harder to handle if it's added to more than one zone. Unless the zones can be named and the auto snap zone is a class property at the top, indicating the named zone to use?

Also, I haven't found anywhere to donate. I feel you deserve a beverage or something.
