Help to write a AHK script to integerate QuickLook for better preview experience.

Post by luckyben »

The build-in preview function doesn't give me a good experience. I find an application called Seer which integrate well with XYplorer. Unfortunately, it is not open source and is not free. So I find an free alternative software called QuickLook. But it does not work as good as Seer.
Using Seer,
1. A user can simply press "space" key to preview a file or folder in XYplorer and then press "space" key again to exit preview.
2. When you are previewing a file, you can press arrow key to view other files seamlessly.

I find a ahk script in this forum: viewtopic.php?t=23888
But that can't achieve the first function I mentioned above.

Can someone help?

    xyHWnd := WinExist(xyID)

    if (xyHWnd) {
        Send_WM_COPYDATA(xyHWnd, "::run lax(""D:\Program Files\QuickLook-3.7.1\QuickLook.exe"" ""<curitem>"");")
    }
return
#IfWinActive
