--- Comment #19 from [email protected] --- Problem : Dolphin currently offers “Show item information on hover” (Configure Dolphin → View → General → Miscellaneous). This gives a small tooltip-style info panel, but there is no instant, non-modal, floating preview triggered by a keyboard shortcut. macOS Quick Look and GNOME Sushi both use the Space bar on a selected file to open a fast, floating preview window without launching the full application. Dolphin users currently lack an equivalent one-keystroke experience. Proposed solution : Extend the existing “Show item information on hover” section with an optional keyboard-triggered preview: Keep the current checkbox: ☐ Show item information on hover Add a new option: ☐ Show item information with keyboard shortcut – Default shortcut: Space – Allow the user to assign any custom shortcut (or leave it unbound) When the keyboard option is enabled and the chosen key is pressed on a selected item, Dolphin should display a floating, non-modal preview window (similar in spirit to Quick Look / Sushi) that can be dismissed with the same key or Escape. Benefits : - Gives KDE users the same instant-preview workflow that macOS and GNOME already provide. - Reuses the existing information-panel infrastructure instead of requiring a completely new feature. - Keeps the hover behaviour optional and independent, so users who prefer tooltips are unaffected. - Shortcut is fully configurable, matching Dolphin’s existing keyboard-shortcut philosophy. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
