Possible using arrow keys to navigate next/previous files in XYplorer, previewing them automatically in "QuickLook" app?

Post by cadu »

Hi. I'd appreciate your help.

By using this scrip from another XYplorer thread I could start previewing files in "QuickLook" app:

Code: Select all

run """C:\Apps\QuickLook\QuickLook.exe"" ""<curitem>""";
However "QuickLook" preview just works for that file that was selected when the XYplorer script ran.

As shown in this screen-recording (https://tinyurl.com/yyc6eh8x), when using "QuickLook" preview in Windows File Explorer, the selected file is previewed, and you can use keyboard arrow keys to navigate next/previous files which are previewed automatically in "QuickLook" (without the need of running a new instance of QuickLook).

Would it be possible using arrow keys to navigate next/previous files in XYplorer, previewing them automatically in "QuickLook" app (like in Windows Explorer)?

Thank you!
Carlos

No, you can't redefine the arrow keys in XY so you can't bind them to a script.

Use AutoHotkey and write a script that takes over this part

Quicklook seems to do the same thing as xy's preview window (at least from what I gathered from your example recording).

As an altetnative you could use that, which does support arrow keys.
