Gesture to hide rising notification in MacBook?

Is there a keyboard shortcut or hand gesture to quickly hide notification popups from the notification center when they're arriving? (the whole notifications bar is of course closed, and only the new arriving notification is shown)

This is instead of clicking the very little "X" on the small window

Solution 1:

These steps were tested using macOS Big Sur 11.2.1.

To dismiss an alert-style notification without clicking the little "x", you can utilize the following options:

1. If you're using a trackpad, hover your cursor over the alert-style notification then swipe right using two fingers.

2. If you're using a mouse, hover your cursor over the alert-style notification then click and drag the notification to the right.
