Some use four fingers by default; set them in System Settings → Trackpad → More Gestures.
Text and look up
- Force click or three-finger tap a word to look it up.
- Two-finger tap to right-click.
Make it lighter
System Settings → Trackpad → Point & Click → Tap to click saves pressing the trackpad down. Accessibility → Pointer Control → Trackpad Options turns on three-finger drag.
In the notch
Notch apps add their own: in NotchMind, which I make, a two-finger swipe sideways moves between Home pages, a swipe up hides the current activity and a swipe down brings it back. See notch gestures.
