This is great! To make it even more quicklook-like, what I'd like to see is an option to:

* change keyboard combo to Spacebar (I never use it while browsing anyway)

* on keycombo press, open the link the mouse is currently hovering over, without needing to actually click the link

That would make it even better for me, but it's already looking very useful.

Wow, switching to mouseover instead of click is an amazing idea. Going to play around with it and ship an update soon.

Spacebar scrolls the page by default so might run into some conflicts there.

Can we make no social spam a rule? I'm happy to see this extension, but it adds no value to make me clickthrough Designer News first.
Nice, I'll try it out.

And for Windows: The key combination is Windows-Alt-Leftclick.

Glad it works on Windows. I don't have a Windows machine to test it out.
Here's a Youtube video that shows it in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ugcbwmDzMc
Pity it doesn't work on Ubuntu, and I'd assume Windows. Looks pretty interesting.
that's a lot of marketting has been done for that plugin
