It lets you see what's going on at a glance, navigate, and drag windows around.

While in the overview, all keyboard shortcuts keep working, while pointing devices get easier:
- Mouse: left click for interactive-move, right click to scroll a workspace left/right (no holding Mod required).
- Mouse: left click and drag windows to move them, right click and drag to scroll workspaces left/right, scroll to switch workspaces (no holding Mod required).
- Touchpad: two-finger scrolling that matches the normal three-finger gestures.
- Touchscreen: one-finger scrolling, or one-finger long press for interactive move.

Drag-and-drop will scroll the workspaces up/down in the overview, and will activate a workspace if you hold it above for a moment.

Combined with the hot corner, this lets you do a mouse-only DnD across workspaces.
