As I read this I thought of another such feature - how pressing Space with a file selected (in either Finder or any 'choose a file' dialog window) presents a quick preview of the contents of the file. Extremely low friction way to quickly check out the contents of a file, almost like the GUI version of `head`

It also has better file puppet than Windows or Linux. I can hit space on an STL and it will show me a preview.

I believe that powertoys enables this.
