The problem with the mac is that much has been done on top of older patterns, etc....
If you're a hardcore user though, I'd take Mac over windows or linux any day.
- BurningFrog 5y agoI've used Macs since 1988, and had no idea this hidden feature existed! UI features don't just need to work well, they also need to be discoverable, or they might as well not exist. The old school Apple was good at that stuff. Recent decades, not so much. PS Thanks for teaching me this trick!
- FabHK 5y agoQuick Look is super useful indeed. Introduced 2007. Plugins make it even more useful (eg for json, torrents, etc.) https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins

- wp381640 5y agoEven as a power user and someone who loves to not RTFM i've found with iPhones / iPads / Macs you gotta refresh and reads tips / the docs to make the most of it since so much UI is hidden now (unless you're a 9 year old!)
- ForHackernews 5y ago> Just use [spacebar] on any view to open up the image in spotlight? Just press a random key on the keyboard? How exactly is that intuitive? Keyboard shortcuts are the absolute worst for discoverability.

- cronix 5y agoAs long as people can find them, in order to use them.
- jbverschoor 5y agoMost of the shortcuts are right there in the menu. For quicklook it's cmd-y and a hidden space. Use the Help menu. Read the menus.
