Hot corners
Push the pointer into a corner of the screen to run an action. By default the bottom-left corner shows all windows and the bottom-right shows the desktop. Choose for each corner in Settings → Multitasking → Hot Corners:
| Setting | Action |
|---|---|
none | Do Nothing |
overview | Show All Windows |
launchpad | Show Apps (Launchpad) |
desktop | Show Desktop |
quick-settings | Open Control Center |
notifications | Open Notifications |
lock | Lock Screen |

Touchpad gestures
| Gesture | Action |
|---|---|
| Three fingers up | Overview (all windows) |
| Three fingers down | Show the desktop |
| Three fingers left / right | Next / previous workspace |
| Pinch with four fingers | Launchpad |
| Two fingers | Scroll (natural scrolling: Settings → Mouse & Touchpad) |
Turn gestures on or off in Settings → Mouse & Touchpad. The shell reads them from libinput;
your user is in the input group for that.
