Is there a way to get spacebar to show "quick view"/ "preview" similar to macOS in Plasma 6? (sh.itjust.works)

I love this feature on macOS, I believe you can set something similar in Gnome, but couldn't reproduce it KDE. Someone suggest mapping spacebar to open the Information panel but it's definitively not as functional. Anyone knows a widget or any way to get something similar? Also, is there a way to save my theme and settings? Cheers!

This looks like a good project, but afaik makes no sense at all.

I am not sure if this uses QtWebengine but think it doesnt and uses Chromium/Electron instead.

This means it is not fast and really no big improvement.

Meanwhile Plasma Dolphin absolutely has a system to preview videos, images, pdfs, text- even office files (Libreoffice format). This means previews should totally work, with very little delay.

KiView is not that.

It's not electron, it's a WebEngineView, see the VideoViewerUi_alt.qml file for example.

But you're right about dolphin. It does support preview and they're enough for me. However, I saw people for whom this was not enough, and IIRC that's the reason behind the creation of this project.

Okay this makes it way better.

But still I guess it would be better if the native Dolphin thing could be extended, instead of some different javascript stuff that simply runs on the Chromium-based webengine that the DE also uses.

Yes, I agree on that. I supposed it's more difficult to do than it seems
