<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, 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.</p>
