      • 用 Windows 的人注意了！看个文件还要双击等软件打开？ 装个开源神器 QuickLook，把 Mac 的「空格预览」搬到 Windows： ① 选中文件按空格，图片、视频、PDF 秒开预览 ② 再按一次空格就关，不占后台 ③ 完全免费开源 🔗 GitHub 总星 25,620 用过就回不去，「建议收藏」

      • Mac 上按空格就能预览文件，Windows 上还得双击等软件启动。 QuickLook 补齐了这个：选中文件按空格，PDF 图片视频压缩包直接弹窗，再按一下关。

      • Mi opinión: si solo instalas tres, que sean UniGetUI (o Scoop si prefieres la terminal), ShareX y QuickLook; se notan desde el primer día. Ojo con WinUtil: corre como admin y cambia el sistema;…

      • 1、ShareX｜截图工具的天花板 Windows 用户真的可以试试这个。 普通截图只是它最基础的功能。 长截图、录屏、GIF、文字识别、自动上传……基本能想到的操作，它都能搞定。 免费、开源，功能却比不少付费软件还猛。

      • Windows 里只想瞄一眼文件，不必先打开应用。QuickLook 可在资源管理器选中文件后按空格，预览图片、PDF、代码等，再按空格关闭。 GPL-3.0 开源免费，从仓库选安装版或商店版；Office 文件需额外插件，商店版不支持打开/保存对话框预览。

      • 很多人费了半天劲翻出去，最后常用的还是 X、YouTube、Reddit。 这就像办了张环球通票，最后每天只在三个景点门口打卡。 其实外面好用的东西多得离谱： 有些能替掉付费软件， 有些专门解决一个很小但很烦的问题， 还有些用了几年都舍不得删。 我挑了 15 个真正值得装的冷门神器👇👇
