Hi Drew,

would it be possible to emulate this convenient feature which Finder has - pressing space to view a note in Mental Case? Especially because rightclicking has some issues every now and then. ALT+CMD+P is obviously the cumbersome alternative for an often used activity. I'm just asking because I am one of those "if-possible-keyboard-only" guys.

Thanks for this update in advance! =)

   Hi Miles,
   We aren't updating version 1 much now, because v2 is in the last phases of development. You will be happy to know with have QuickLook support using the spacebar.
   Kind regards,
   Drew

   Hi Drew,

   I somehow have been aware of that but thought it would be just an additional internal hardcoded mapping like ALT+CMD+P was. I'm only asking because I thought I still have to work with MC1 in a productive environment for a while ... so ...

   ... ready when you are, Miles

   A command like space is a bit more troublesome because it is used for text entry. If your cursor is editing the note's text, you will not be able to preview until it loses focus, so that could be confusing. That's why command and alt tend to be used, to prevent conflict.

   Kind regards,
   Drew
