I generally looks in the Menus for actions, using my keyboard. As I get to 
know a app, I learn the shortcuts, at the end I don't need the menu bar. But 
I like having it around.

To add my own cent: The feature of kuickshow to show any file that can be 
produced a thumbnail for is smart, but not nice imo. I prefer image viewers 
to tell me if file X is not an image file.

And I miss an action (with shortcut) to switch <-> full screen.
