Description Martín Cigorraga 2013-07-08 02:57:09 UTC 
Hi all!
Ark is indeed a very useful piece of software when previewing compressed attached files from KMail emails, IMHO it would add a lot to its usability to ship it with the Space-key as the default shortcut for the Preview function so this way previewing a lot of files using the keyboard is a cake!

I know this may be more related to how a distro ships KDE SC to fit its specific vision about how their users should interact with the desktop environment but still I think this may be word thinking.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a compressed attachment within KMail using Ark.
2. Move through the archive list and try to preview the files using the keyboard (you soon will find you can't)
3.
Actual Results:  
You're left to use the mouse (which is totally awkward) or figure out if there's any possibility to change that behaviour - the latter usually not applies to a long-time KDE SC user.

Expected Results:  
You can flawlessly open/preview selected file(s) with your keyboard, either by pressing the space bar or the Enter/Return key.

Add keyboard shortcuts to preview action.

is the alternate one.
