Leopard: Quick Look’s Full Screen View

· by · Tips

Quick Look is one of Leopardis great features because it saves you from having to launch applications just to see what a document looks like. If that preview, however, isnit quite big enough for you, just take it on up to full screen size.

To view a document with Quick Look, just select the file by clicking on it once, and then tap the Space bar. Taking the preview to full screen mode is easy, too. Just click the Full Screen button at the bottom of the Quick Look window.


Quick Lookis Full Screen button.

If opening the Quick Look view and then clicking the Full Screen button is one too many steps for you, try pressing Command-Option-Y instead of the Space bar. Your document will preview in full screen mode, no extra steps required.
