Hover Box & kbd

Now that the HB has received so much attention recently, I was wondering if it could also be launched with a kbd-shortcut. Yes, I know, it's called "
hover box", but still: its content is definitely interesting for keyboards only, and while a dedicated kbd-shortcut would be less elegant than the "zero-click preview"-effect, I can still press most shortcuts faster than grap my mouse & move it
I thin kit would make sense

But for *what* would you call the box? The mouse position decides over the content...

At first I was sceptical but after some quick tests it looks like a cool idea!

Just curious: Why doesn't F11 (Floating Preview) do the job for you?

Folders! But you're right - maybe if we had FPV for Folders that would be almost equal, I guess

Nice one...a very long time ago I essentially wished the same for MDBU and also be able to navigate to adjacent images using arrow keys once it's displayed. The clean frameless interface is what I like MDBU over floating preview.

OK, it won't be in 21.50, but it will come...
