Peter pointed out some time ago [1] why the "Space" shortcut for KLook
does not provide a big usability improvement compared to the current
situation in single-click mode (which is the default), and I agree
with his arguments.

If we do that, I can already see bug reports like "I enabled the KLook
button, but Dolphin doesn't show it" coming from users who always use
the Details View with a small icon size. And I also see that some
users will request that we make it configurable if the selection
markers or the "KLook" button will be hidden when there is
insufficient space for both. In other words: such a solution would be
a maintenance nightmare.

Best regards,
Frank
