Description of the new feature / enhancement

Like it is possible to move windows around with win + (up, down, right, left), could it be possible do that inside powertoys run. The difference would be that there would be no suggestions for splitting two programs. Open powertoys run and type right, now your windows is to the right side of the screen.

I'm mostly looking for these options: middle, right side, left side, upper half, bottom half, the 4 corners, maximize window, divide screen in thirds.

Scenario when this would be used?

Opening new programs and moving them around quickly. For example:

In the morning you open your pc to start working but you have to open vscode, browser and teams. I want to move the around quickly, I type in "left third", "middle third", "right third". Now my app windows are moved to their desired spot.

If this is your main reason: these suggestions can be turned off in Windows Settings.

Not only that. It is about the ease of moving apps around with a keyboard without having to use the arrow keys. Simply tying where you want that windows to go makes it a lot easier.
