### How to reproduce When hitting ⌥-Space on a file or folder, Quick Look goes into fullscreen. enter image description here [Wikipedia's "Quick Look" entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Look) lists these shortcuts. enter image description here ### What I'm trying to do I'd like to disable this (extremely dominant) shortcut because I want to re-use it to open a new iTerm window on the focused location with an automator script. I never use the QL fullscreen, since regular Quick Look is entirely enough for me. ### What I tried I can't find the shortcut in keyboard > shortcuts and have not found any options that let me configure QL. qlmanage also doesn't seem to give me obvious options to configure the keybindings
▶ qlmanage -h
Usage: qlmanage [OPTIONS] path...

I'm skimmed also over the following documents: - [Quick Look Programming Guide](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual/Quicklook_Programming_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005020-CH1-SW1) - [Quick Look Framework Documentation](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/quicklook) - [Apple Developer: Human Interface Guidelines - Keyboard](https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/user-interaction/keyboard/) So far, no luck on how to change the key bindings ### Question How do I modify Quick Look Shortcuts or disable them?
