I got an ultrawide monitor for Black Friday. I had been using dual monitors. I have Actual Window Manager 8.15.1. I had a simple Desktop Divider setup on the dual monitors and mainly snapped windows in place with the mouse; my main use was the Multiple Monitor features.
With the single ultrawide, I'd like a 3-zone horizontal layout, which I have configured and set as active and works with the mouse. I don't understand how to use the keyboard to snap windows into zones though. None of the Key Combinations assigned in the Hotkeys > Actions > Desktop Divider tab seem to work, or work as expected. I'd like to be able to snap a window left or right across the zones, or (less importantly) directly into zone 1, 2, or 3.
Because I was struggling with this I installed the PowerToys FancyZones and that seemed a bit simpler for the keyboard navigation, I could use Win + Left Arrow and Win + Right Arrow to snap windows into equivalent zones. I prefer the divider setup in Actual Tools though, as I can set it to be percentage based.
I guess Windows also has a built-in snapping feature that I wasn't aware of.
How can I get Desktop Divider to respond to a simple Win + Left/Right Arrow to snap a window to the next/previous DD zone? Possibly disabling Windows' built-in assignment for those keys if necessary.

Hello, Jess
I apologize for the delay in replying to you.
Could you try to use the numeric keyboard for these hotkeys and also try to switch its mode with the Num Lock key? Do the hotkeys start working? Especially try to use the "arrows" hotkeys with the Num Lock mode disabled and the "Show the Put into Divider..." with the Num Lock enabled.
Could you also send us a screenshot of your Desktop Divider tiles layout from this section: configuration module > Layout and Snap > Desktop Divider > Tile Layouts?
