Hidden Airport Details The Way The Dock Was Supposed To Be
Dec 19

As you know, when looking at files in Quick Look you can look at a single one or use the arrow keys to scroll through your list, or even look at thumbnails (an index sheet) of all files. Switching between single file view and index sheet view doesn’t require a click. Simply press command-return to toggle between the two views. Nice.

    how do u get it to switch to index view? Neither the click nor the shortcut work for me.

  3. WhizzKid Says:

    Make sure your Quick Look window is selected. This may require a click into it. And remember it’s command-return, not command-enter.

    WTF???

    I have a macbook and i cant get this trick to work!
    WhizzKids Response sounds jibberish to me. Thus the return-key equals the enter-key where i am from.

    On your beloved MacBook, the enter key sits to the right of the space bar, the return key at the very right of the keyboard. They have similar, but not identical functions.

    Weird, I just realized that on my new MacBook (Santa Rosa), the button beside the right Command key is now the Alt Option key.

    Command+Return works just fine here. :) Thanks for the tip!
