+Three-finger swipes navigate on release: up goes to the next workspace on the
+current monitor, down to the previous; left focuses the window to the right,
+and right focuses the window to the left. Workspace swipes skip workspaces owned
+by other monitors and stop at the first/last workspace. Cancelled, short and
+diagonal swipes do nothing. Navigation pauses while locked, during
+window grabs, or when an application inhibits shortcuts.
+
+Assign swipes in **Settings → Shortcuts** using the same actions and arguments as
+keyboard bindings. Choose a "Customize swipe" button to add an override. The
+gesture keys are `Swipe3Up`, `Swipe3Down`, `Swipe3Left`, and `Swipe3Right`; 4 or 5
+fingers are also supported. Changes reload live:

+keys = "Swipe3Up"

+action = "move"
+argument = "left"
+

+
+`spawn` uses a named entry from `[commands]`, just like keyboard shortcuts. To
+disable a direction in Settings, set its action to `none` and leave Argument
+empty. In TOML, `disabled = true` removes the default binding. Swipes do not use
+keyboard modifiers or physical key matching. The trigger is automatically
+recognized from its name. Gesture navigation uses native touchpad events in a
+hardware session.

+press Escape to cancel. Captures open in Satty for annotation. Press Enter to
+save the edited PNG under your Pictures directory in `Screenshots` and copy it
+to the clipboard; Escape discards the capture. It requires `grim`, `slurp`,
+`satty`, and `wl-copy` (from `wl-clipboard`). Override the `screenshot` command
 to use another screenshot tool.
+Print Screen runs `ferese-screenshot --full` and captures all enabled outputs
+without a selector. Fn+PrtSc works when the keyboard emits the Print Screen key;
+Fn is handled by the keyboard firmware. Override `screenshot-full` to customize
+this command. Both modes open Satty with the same save and copy workflow.
