 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

 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
