Peek shortcuts to include spacebar

[klaushell]

Description of the new feature / enhancement

While using Peek, the file selected would be previewed without the need of a system key, only the spacebar would be needed.

Scenario when this would be used?

Scrolling through windows explorer trying to find a file (picture, document, etc.).

Supporting information

When pressing down on only one key instead of two, you double your efficiency.

I REALLY want this! Just uninstalled another program that work as klaushell suggested, because Powertoys Peek is much more quicker to open, just to realize that single key shortcut isn't available :/.
Please add this.
Also, kudos to the team, the feature works really well!

Yes a single spacebar activation like in https://github.com/QL-Win/QuickLook is much better..
But another design flaw I see with this implementation is that.. We can't use up and down keys when in detail view in explorer, like in QuickLook.. Only left and right.
And that might be due to the fact that focus is taken by the peek utility.. Unlike in QuickLook where the focus remains with the file explorer.
And after moving the preview to the file we want, and stopping the preview, we have the file we want.

This actually breaks the workflow of having a previewer when the windows open file dialogue is open.

@maintainers, should I promote this to a separate issue?
