Notes
- Because of the limitation of Windows Sandbox, the following two notes are not applicable to the Store version of QuickLook. In this case, you have to use a small tool to invoke QuickLook. Notes here.
- Total Commander and fman employ the Spacebar for selecting items, so QuickLook does not override it. However, it is possible to set the F3 preview application to QuickLook. Notes here.
- XYplorer treats the Spacebar as a part of search keywords, so QuickLook does not override it. However, it is possible to set a custom hotkey to invoke QuickLook. Notes here.

Assign a custom hotkey that fires event QuickLook.exe "c:\a\path\here"
.
From the command line (MSI, ZIP, and Windows Store versions)
