SUMMARY
While four finger gestures work wonderfully, just like mac, in KDE Plasma on Wayland, three finger gestures do not open the app overview. They only page desktops left and right. This is very important for me, because I have a small trackpad and it is difficult to fit all four of my fingers on it in order to swipe up. This renders swiping up useless for me. I would love to use the swipe up feature as easily as I can on mac. And if I can get that working, I would fully commit to linux. Right now, I still want a mac. This should not be a difficult fix. Yall already got it working for four fingers! Three fingers is even less fingers! Please implement this when you get the chance :P

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Wayland. Arch. KDE Plasma.
2. Place four fingers on the trackpad
3. Move them up simyltaneously.
4. WOW
5. Place three fingers on the trackpad
6. Move them up simyltaneously
7. Post a bug report on kde.org about it and then cry myself to sleep.

OBSERVED RESULT
No window expose

EXPECTED RESULT
Window expose
