          I use this page to determine what each swipe does. What you're describing is called "Launchpad".




          • Use Multi-Touch gestures on your Mac


          It looks like this when you open it:

            That's funny, I reviewed that webpage in my initial google search, but I was skimming and looking for "4 fingers" and this gesture is described as "thumb and three fingers". I actually use 4 fingers and not my thumb. The nuances!
