Peek to allow Activation Shortcut to be only Space Key #26208

Closed AliAkolade closed 1 year ago

AliAkolade commented 1 year ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Most file preview apps like Quicklook, WinQuicklook and Seer use only the Space Key to preview files.

Peek should also enable the Activation shortcut to just be Space.

Scenario when this would be used?

When previewing files.

This would be great, as it's more in line with how macOS does this, and hitting two keys is a little cumbersome. I've been using QuickLook for quite a while now, and would love to switch to Peak, but unless I can just make the shortcut "space" like it is in QuickLook, then it's not worth the switch to me.

Ikr. I know that Peek will still need some time to support more file type previews. But, I am ready to uninstall Quicklook the moment only the Space Key can activate Peek.
