Three-finger commands, also known as three-finger gestures, are a set of specific touch actions designed for quick navigation and task management on devices running Windows with a touchscreen or precision touchpad. These gestures allow users to efficiently control various aspects of the operating system without needing to use a mouse or keyboard shortcuts.
These intuitive gestures provide a fluid way to interact with open applications and the desktop, enhancing productivity for users.
