- rover 14y agocool stuff !
- jkbr 14y agoIMO the preview appears automatically after ~2 seconds without having to press any key. Useful feature indeed.
- pstadler 14y agoI guess you're right. Though I never recognized this before and since I'm using Alfred, I don't touch Spotlight that often.
- skinnymuch 14y agoOn mobile device right now, but earlier today Alfred prompted for a beta update which included some Spotlight features. Not sure about the details or if it's only part of the paid Powerpack
- city41 14y agoSadly what it does and does not preview seems to be pretty random. For me with Lion it will preview Rakefiles and .txt files for example, but not .js files.
