Is it just me? But this seems to work only in Quick Look's full-screen mode. But hey -- this is great! It makes Quick Look even more useful than it already was.

I was not able to use this hint before I switch to fullscreen mode. But after that, I can use cmd = and cmd - in quicklook no matter in normal or fullscreen mode.

I think the key is that it only works if the Quick Look window has focus. Making it full screen, gives it focus. Clicking on it, will give it focus too.

I would like to know how to give it focus via keyboard, and remove it via keyboard - both essential to making Quick Look perfect.
