Somehow off topic but this is a very neat trick: You can preview the selected item directly in the Spotlight menu by pressing the left arrow key.

Sadly what it does and does not preview seems to be pretty random. For me with Lion it will preview Rakefiles and .txt files for example, but not .js files.

IMO the preview appears automatically after ~2 seconds without having to press any key. Useful feature indeed.

I guess you're right. Though I never recognized this before and since I'm using Alfred, I don't touch Spotlight that often.

On mobile device right now, but earlier today Alfred prompted for a beta update which included some Spotlight features. Not sure about the details or if it's only part of the paid Powerpack
