Requesting clarification on how SaneSideButtons works

[93-infinity]

Firstly, my budding carpal tunnel thanks you for your work.

I read the readme and the one from the original project and iirc what you do is start (and stop immediately) a three-finger swipe, so anywhere a three-finger swipe works, this works.

That's it, nothing more, no blacklist/whitelist, per-application behaviour needed?

I haven't used an Apple laptop in a while but I remember if I perform a three-finger swipe (such as in Safari) the entire page swipes over. How do you avoid this?

Reason I ask is I find an app where SSB (or as I now understand it, swiping) does not work as expected. So I think that either SSB could whitelist this app, but if that is not a thing, then likely I should contact that app's developer and request they disable trackpad gestures or something like that.
