</note>

You can quickly preview files without opening them in a full-blown

application.  Select any file and press the space bar. The file will open in a

simple preview window. Press the space bar again to dismiss the preview.

The built-in preview supports most file formats for documents, images,

video, and audio. In the preview, you can scroll through your documents or seek

through your video and audio.

To view a preview full-screen, press <key>F</key> or <key>F11</key>. Press

<key>F</key> or <key>F11</key> again to leave full-screen, or press the space

bar to exit the preview completely.
