Hi,
According to the keyboard shortcut guide, when I hit "tab" on a file in Spotlight, a preview window should open on the right side of the Spotlight bar. However, since I've upgraded to Ventura, the "tab" now takes me back to the search item in the spotlight bar. Hitting the space bar will open a preview, but is that the only option now?
Thanks

All it does now is toggle between the search field and the list of results.
Spacebar will Quicklook as it does in Finder.
I'm sorry I didn't spell it out completely.
That was how it worked for a hot minute. It was completely bizarre.
It was removed so fast I only vaguely remember it.
Apparently, they have not updated the Guide. Not surprising.
You should send them feedback.
Thanks, but that isn't what the macOS User Guide says should be the case for Ventura 13. It says that the tab key should open the preview area.
Why doesn't "tab" engage preview in macos spotlight?
