Quick Look Full Screen Shortcut

Handy shortcut for Leopard’s odd-behaving Quick Look feature.

Command-Option-Y will Quick Look files directly in full screen. Great for viewing images (takes a sec to load).
Esc goes up a folder while in full screen. To exit from the keyboard, hit Command-Option-Y again.
If you Alt-Tab to another program, then Alt-Tab back to Full Screen, you’ll be able to arrow to the adjacent files in the folder. Not sure why you can’t just jump files to begin with. Again, it’s slow to load the previews, but once they’re loaded, arrowing back and forth is pretty quick.

Still looking for a snappy full-screen image viewer like ACDSee 3.1 i use on Windows - preferably something free.
