Replicate app expose (three finger down swipe) on trackpad within windows 11
On macOS, swiping down with three fingers shows all open windows of the current app (App Exposé). I find this super helpful when working with multiple Word documents or browser windows.
Is there a way to replicate this feature on Windows 11, either through native functionality, touchpad gestures, or third party apps?
Edit: I’m aware of the Task View / multitasking view (Win + Tab) but that shows all windows, which gets overwhelming when many are open. I'm specifically looking for something like a gesture or shortcut that would show just the windows of the current app (e.g. only Chrome windows).

Some trackpad drivers (like Synaptics or Windows Precision Touchpad) support custom gestures, but they usually include basic gestures (like three-finger swipe for switching desktops or app switching).
Enable the three-finger swipe down gesture and select the Show Desktop” function in Settings → Bluetooth & other devices → Touchpad → Gestures. I find it works well and would like to share it with you.
