After updating Sequoia to v. 15.3, selecting a file, document, etc. Pressing the spacebar no longer activates Quick Look.
One has to mouse to QL.
Is there a patch to re-activating ?

Have you shut down and restarted more than once since your "updating Sequoia to v. 15.3" — that is the place to start, and compare your results.
No resolve:
From the Terminal.app copy & paste:
qlmanage -r
(use the enter\return key to proceed. Quite the Terminal.app)
this resets Quick Look Server and all Quick Look client's
generator cache.

Did three warm boots. As recommended: Terminal command, qlmanage -r
No workee. Pressing Spacebar after selecting a file, launches Preview.
Other suggestion?
Thank you!
Did three <SHUTDOWN> & starts.
Ran qlmanage -r in Terminal
Still no joy.
