if you want a fast access to all your toggles (not only the 5 'main' one), you can do that directly, by drawing down the notification area with TWO fingers. It will open the 'all toggles' area.
and I assume you know that you can open the notification area from any application, if you just draw down from the top of the screen...
Oh dear..

If you press an icon for an app on your screen it will open. No need for a mouse!
Put the phone to the side of your head during a call to both speak AND listen!
If you type google into Google you will break the internet.

I would like to be able to swipe a certain spot on my screen and switch to expanded desktop is there a way for me to setup a shortcut like that?
I have searched the web and i cant find any free simple ways of doing this so some help would be great.

There's no simple way to do that unfortunately. Might be a good option to have available from the Nav Ring (quick launch targets) now that you mention it however. As far as how to code that, not a clue.
The most efficient, currently availalbe, way I've found is to have an expanded desktop quick settings tile. I can open the quick settings panel with a gesture from a launcher screen and select it from there.
Can't you do this with the app gesture control?
Ok ignore that. Just checked and you can only hide status bar. Not enter expanded desktop mode

Yep you said it, i have tried gmd and gmd doesn't allow me to make a shortcut to CM's expanded desktop.

I just got the phoneb yesterday and on the notification bar multi window is darkened and it is also darkened in the settings and I can't tap it to activate. I got some screenshots I'll put up.

Are there any apps that will let me open up 1 app when it looks like another? For example if I put the messaging app on my home screen can I press it and make it actually open the email app instead?

Nova launcher....can change app icons. Not sure what you really are trying to do though.

Well the problem is when you move the apps to the sd card..if you reboot they drop out of any folders you have on the homescreen. So I was trying to have a system app, change the icon and name and have it open an sd card app so it remains on a reboot. Was just a theory I wanted to see if it works as a workaround for the apps dropping out after a reboot

Pretty sure it would be impossible. The icons are like shortcuts in windows. A pretty little graphic that calls a command (in this case am) to open the app. The reason it drops is the OS is attempting to be smart and since it can't find the app on boot (sdcard has to be mounted first) is drops the shortcut.
Only suggestion is try a widget that lets you make shortcuts.
Edit
Or try a shortcut app like

I found a semi decent workaround ..in Nova Launcher there's a swipe action feature when you can set an app to open a different app when you swipe it vs pressing it. So I took a non sd app, changed the icon to the icon of the app I wanted to open and changed the name to the app I wanted to open..then added a "-s" after it so I know it's a swipe action app. Not bad..

I thought I heard that there was a way to Launch 'My Magazine' using gesture/swipe up in Nova Settings. All I see there is the APP DRAWER. Can you launch specific apps in the launch draw (like 'my magazine') using gesture/swipe up ?
as long as the app is available in the gesture settings it'll launch it. i know smart launcher does and i currently have it set for that. i'll probably change it since i use feedly far more than i'll use the my magazine app.
edit: oh snap! i didn't pay attention that i posted in the note 3 forum. i thought i was in the gn10.1 2014 forum, lol. either way it's all the same.
I found the setting for 'My Magazine' but unfortunately Swipe Up is not doing anything (& swipe up in nova says "my magazine" now). Perhaps NOVA needs a restart. Trying that next.
My gestures work -in my use i find if you make sure you touch a part of the screen not covered by a widget or button then do the motion -the action gets carried out

That was it, thanks sent. I had a widget blocking my swipe, I guess.
Glad it helped! You can even do the gestures along the furthest side of the screen and it'll work so no worries about having to leave a space open to do it!

When I hover my finger above the recent emsil list the email turns blue and a small square with a triangle appears. What is this? And I still have to touch the screen to open the email so why the hover color change?

You have Air-View toggled on. It's main purpuse is for the S-Pen.. that same thing happens for Sms/Mms as well.
