Background

One of the few features I missed from macOS is Quick Look. It allows users to peek into a file content in lightning speed by just pressing the <kbd>Space</kbd> key. Windows, on the other hand, does not have this handy feature ... until now!

I am aware that several alternatives are already available on the Internet (e.g. WinQuickLook and Seer). Despite these options, I still decided to craft another one by myself, because they are either not being actively developed, lack of variety, or ask for some :dollar:.

What are the differences between .msi, .zip, Nightly and Store versions?

Note: Don't forget to check out the plugins for previewing office-files, epubs, fonts and more!

Typical usecase

  1. Run QuickLook.exe (only necessary if autostart is disabled)
  2. Select any file or folder (on the Desktop, in a File Explorer window, in an Open or Save-File dialogue, doesn't matter)
  3. Press <kbd>Spacebar</kbd>
  4. Enjoy the preview and interact with it
  5. Preview next file by clicking on it or using arrow-keys (arrow-keys move selection in the background if the preview window is not in focus)
  6. When you're done close it by either hitting <kbd>Spacebar</kbd> again, pressing <kbd>Esc</kbd> or clicking the button

Hotkeys and buttons
