TC Quick Preview

TC Quick Preview is a fast desktop file browser and Spacebar instant multi-format file previewer for Linux, starting directly in your real home directory.
An independent Linux alternative inspired by PowerToys Peek for instant keyboard-driven file inspection across desktop folders.
