gloobus-preview

how do I restore the spacebar binding in nautilus to gloobus-preview

Asked by SB

I had to reinstall nautilus after an experimental version I had from the elementary PPA started hogging memory.
After going back to the official version from the lucid repository (1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1.1) I can no longer use the spacebar to launch gloobus-prevew. It simply launches the default app for each file format
I am currently running gloobus-preview from the PPA on lucide version 0.4.5-ubuntu4~ppa233

Thanks.

install nautilus-elementary, it was patched to run gloobus-preview with space bar, vanilla nautilus does not provide this functionality

Alexandr, thanks for the reply. I must be missing something though.
The gloobus-preview package does not depend on nautilus-elementary and does not even recommend or suggest its installation and from your answer it seems that the only way to use gloobus-preview is to use it with nautilus-elementary (by thath I mean without the spacebar binding or some other key binding, gloobus-preview is pretty useless). So, the fact the it worked for me was a mere coincidence that I decided to install the elementary desktop?

probably
another way is to run gloobus-preview with a keybinding (Ctrl+Space for
example), but you will need to copy the file first (so you run the preview
with Ctrl+C Ctrl+Space)

Thanks again for answering.
Doesn't sound too bad as a temp solution. So how do I bind Ctrl+Space to gloobus-preview?
