Quick Look shortcut: Space Bar

November 6, 2007 in instructions | 1 comment

It couldn’t be more simple (a bit too simple).  Want to quick look a file, any file? Single click the item or arrow over to it and hit Space Bar.  This toggles up the item for viewing in Quick Look.  Hit Space Bar again to un-quick look it.

Wicked.

I used this feature, and then tried to rename a file whilst Quicklook was still open. When I tried to enter a space in the filename, it didn’t let me and the spacebar hasn’t worked for anything since. After trying a couple of suggestions I found on the Apple forums, I am probably now going to have to reinstall Leopard. Be warned.
