1. I don't get what the initial conditions are supposed to be. The Beta notes state, "open a Hover Box or File Info Tip using the keyboard if the keyboard if the current mouse position is suitable". After assigning the command to a key like "shift Esc", I can't get the hover box to open no matter where the mouse position is. Maybe I'm missing something obvious especially as far as positioning or initial conditions.

2. I must have looked at every XY scripting command known to man but the most obvious, SC "report". This works great to open a hovered file, without having to select it, with the default Windows app. Assigned to "alt-space" in User Defined Commands under scripting. Thanks Don.
$file=report("{FullName}", 3);open $file, w;.

It's working fine once I remembered that it's intended to bring Hover Box back to life after just closing it with Esc (i.e., shift-Esc will display the Hover Box again). Thanks. :whistle:
