There are already *two* modifier-free keystrokes for browsing into things (→ 
and /). Spacebar doesn’t need to do this, too. Problem solved. :-)

Many of the other suggestions are also solved. Getting into text mode can 
already be done with a single key (.). So can running a user-selectable default 
action (↩). And these things aren’t context-sensitive, so you don’t have to 
guess (or try to learn/remember) what’s going to happen.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t like smarter spacebar behavior, but the only 
real-world scenario where I’ve found Quick Look to be undesirable is when I’m 
typing quickly and expecting it to “switch to text mode if no match is found”. 
I’m not really sure how that could be determined automatically, though. “Typing 
quickly” is a pretty fuzzy thing to test.
