## The touchpad
Three fingers sideways moves between workspaces and follows your fingers as it
goes; three fingers up opens the overview and three down closes it. Those are
GNOME's gestures, reproduced, and they do not move.
Four fingers are yours. Each of the four directions can be given a job — a shell
action, a window or workspace move — from the same list your own shortcuts pick
from, on Input Mouse & Touchpad. Assigning one reloads the compositor, so
expect a beat of black before it works. Unassigned directions are left alone
rather than bound to nothing.
## Rules for one application
Some windows want the same treatment every time: the password manager should
float, chat should open on workspace four, a picture viewer should not be
resized to fill half the screen. **Application window rules** on Shell Tiling is where that
is written down. You pick an application and tick what should happen to it —
float, center it, pin it to every workspace, give it a fixed size or a
workspace to open on — rather than writing a match pattern. Panama's own
surfaces cannot be targeted, and a rule with nothing ticked is refused rather
than saved as a row you would wonder about later.
## Projects
A project is the set of windows you open together: which applications, which
