          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!

          There are other easy ways to invoke Launchpad too:




          1. Press the special F4 key on your MacBook's built in keyboard or Apple keyboard. On newer hardware introduced after Mac OS X Lion was released, the key shows a grid of square.





          1. Use the Launchpad icon in the Dock. The icon for the app is present by default in the Dock and looks like this:





          1. Launchpad can also be invoked via Spotlight search:
