### How to reproduce
When hitting ⌥-Space on a file or folder, Quick Look goes into fullscreen.
[Wikipedia's "Quick Look" entry](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quick_Look) lists these shortcuts.
### 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...
-h Display this help
-r Force reloading Generators list
-r cache Reset thumbnail disk cache
-m [name ...] Display statistics about quicklookd. Stats names:
* plugins Show the generators list
* server Show quicklookd life information
* memory Show quicklookd memory consumption
* burst Show statistics about the last burst
* threads Show concurrent accesses stats
* other Show other information about quicklookd
-p Compute previews of the documents
-t Compute thumbnails of the documents
-x Use quicklookd (remote computation)
-i Compute thumbnail in icon mode
-s size Size for the thumbnail
-f factor Scale factor for the thumbnail
-F factor Scale factor for the thumbnail, draw downscaled and compare to 1x
-z Display generation performance info (don't display thumbnails)
-o dir Output result in dir (don't display thumbnails or previews)
-c contentType Force the content type used for the documents
-g generator Force the generator to use
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?
