(⌘+Y also works for single files, but in that case it’s less convenient.) Once that window is open, you can navigate between the files with the arrow keys in the upper left. You can also select multiple files to preview at once by holding down the Command key as you select them and then pressing ⌘+Y. (This also works with files on the desktop.) A full-page preview will pop up-and with Markup options, too. This works for everything from images and PDFs to Microsoft Excel files.

Notably, you can’t close windows in it which to me, is absolutely insane and I can’t believe you still can’t even in Monterey. For something that is supposed to be one of the main way to manage your open windows and activities, it’s however, very barebones. It’s much better than Spotlight, macOS’s default application launcher Paid Mission Control Plus Unfortunately a lot of the features are locked behind a paywall but I think it’s very much worth it for the huge productivity boost that it provides.
