There are few modifiers that can be set as ignore keys (such as Ctrl and Alt). However I'd like to set the left mouse button as my ignore key. The reason being that when dragging a window I use the right mouse button to activate Powertoys Fancyzones to snap the window and this conflicts with Strokesplus.

Is it possible to set Strokesplus to ignore when either
  1. Left mouse button is pressed simultaneously OR
  2. A window is being dragged
?

You can leverage this undocumented/experimental property I was (fortunately) working on!

It basically enables manual capture [which is invoked via sp.StartManualCapture(bool useSecondaryStrokeButton = false) and sp.StopManualCapture()] to instruct S+ to not perform mouse/gesture capture even when a stroke button is pressed.

So when you press the left button down, it disables stroke button capture, and when you release the left button, S+ is back to normal operation.

Note: This will require you to press the left button first, even if it's just by a couple milliseconds.

Global Actions > Mouse Events > Left Click
Code:
if(click.Down) {
    sp.ManualCaptureOnly = true;
} else {
    sp.ManualCaptureOnly = false;
}

Also FYI, there is a post to kind of simulate the Fancy Zones below; not that I'm throwing any shade at PowerToys as I have it installed myself!

Edit: Note that this would still allow you to use Left as a modifier, but only as an After modifier, meaning you press the stroke button first, then press Left to signal the modifier.
