Peek: different activation shortcut #33620

Open dan-wenger opened 4 days ago

dan-wenger commented 4 days ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

I would love to be able to use just space bar to activate Peek. Is there a reason/design decision why this hasn't been implemented? As of the current release v0.82.0, shortcuts that don't use modifier keys are invalid.

Scenario when this would be used?

To me, Peek should provide the fastest way to preview a file. Even if it already is a really quick process, eliminating one (redundant, from my point of view) key press would further improve everyday functionality.

Agreed 100%, Peek should be able to work with just a single press of the spacebar like macos and quicklook.
