Description

Sometimes, I found that I cannot get enough property information from QuickLook viewer, and I need to close the viewer, right-click the file again and choose Property, which is a bit annoying.

Since the Property is always available for all files and folders, can we add a button on the title to let us quickly open the Property window? And it would be even better if we can add a shortcut for it, maybe Ctrl+Enter?

Research direction

Start by locating the QuickLook viewer title controls and its keyboard-command handling. Add a title-bar Property action and assess the proposed Ctrl+Enter shortcut, then verify that both open the Property window for files and folders without closing the viewer.
