<title>Preview files and folders</title>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>To view a preview full-screen, click the
<media type="image" src="figures/view-fullscreen-16.png">fullscreen</media>
button near the bottom, or press <key>f</key>. Click
<media type="image" src="figures/view-fullscreen-16.png">fullscreen</media>
or press <key>f</key> again to leave full-screen, or press the space bar to
exit the preview completely.</p>
