Note that since 3.2, Nautilus includes a "quick previewer" which is
launched upon pressing of the Space key.
Other than this, I think the problem space behind this idea is real, and
people actually started to explore a solution [1] in style with the new
GNOME 3 applications design; I think that would be a much better target
for this project than Nautilus.
