Keyboard Shortcut to QuickLook window

[brookter1]

Does anyone know a way to move the keyboard focus to a QuickLook window, using a keyboard shortcut?

Ventura seems to have broken a useful feature in Spotlight: the ability to search for a program, then tab into the list of its recent documents. Very simple, very useful, and all possible via the keyboard. That's the whole point of Spotlight, after all, to be able to use the keyboard to find and launch things easily.

Now, you have to search for the app, highlight it, and then press Space, which brings up a QuickLook window showing recent documents for that app. So far, so good – clunkier than the old system, but usable.

However, there doesn't seem to be a way to use the keyboard to choose one of the documents – the down/up arrows change the selection in the main Spotlight windows, which isn't particularly useful. So it looks like they want you to use the mouse to select a document. That's just daft in a process which is supposed to be streamlined.

So, is there a shortcut to move the focus from the main Spotlight window to the QuickLook windows? Cmd-` doesn't work, unfortunately.

Thanks…

Clearly there isn’t one…

I’ve decided that this (and the new ridiculous “I’m going to show you web results even – especially – when you don’t want them”) is annoying enough to move to Alfred until the Spotlight problems are fixed.
