Spacebar power in gnome-shell

May be some of you already know about it, but I am sure there are still some who don't know like me :). Yesterday I was just going to watch "Big Bang Theory" and by mistake I pressed "spacebar" instead of "Return key (Enter)" to a already selected file and boom I was able to see video, I though may be it's gnome-shell preview feature, but I was wrong, It is a feature of nautilus and provided by module called"sushi" I also noticed it a fully function video player (pause/play and full screen). Don't think if you press space again video will pause, it will go away :)

Curiously I selected one folder and press spacebar and got property of the folder (size, modified date ..etc).


And then a picture, you can preview in medium size and their is also a full screen mode button at bottom of preview screen.

 
I just liked this feature so much, couldn't control myself to share :), well enjoy the power of spacebar !!
