[5.x]: Keyboard shortcut for "Preview file" quick action working only when the title of the thumbnail is focused.

[thupsi]

What happened?

On the relase notes for Craft 5 there is the following item:

Selected assets within Assets fields no longer open the file preview modal when their thumbnail is clicked on. The “Preview file” quick action, or the Shift + Spacebar keyboard shortcut, can be used instead.

Having selected a thumb, I tried to use the shortcut to no avail and initialy I thought it wasn't working at all. Upon further investigation I realised that the thumbnail's title must be focused for the shortcut to take effect.

Is this intentional? I does feel awkward.

Thanks for reporting that! Turns out the Shift + Spacebar keyboard shortcut hasn’t been working quite right for a while, even back in Craft 3. Now fixed for the next 3/4/5 releases. (2e9c4ac)

@brandonkelly The shortcut still doesn't work in Craft 5:

• Select an image thumbnail in an asset field by cliking on it. The thumbnail is focused.
• Press Shift + Spacebar. Nothing happens.
• Press tab. The thumbnail's title is focused.
• Press Shift + Spacebar. The preview opens.

Sorry, I was only testing with keyboard navigation. Fixed now for the next release.

Works perfectly now, thanks!

5.0.0-beta.4 is out now with that fix. Thanks again!

@brandonkelly Is this also intended to work on the assets index page? Additionally, I'd like to make a feature request to allow keyboard navigation to the next/previous asset, similar to how you can do with Quicklook on a Mac.
