I like the preview feature with the space bar that comes in Mac OS X and I wanted that same feature in Ubuntu.
You have at least two options: gnome-sushi or gloobus.
To install gnome-sushi just run this in your terminal:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y install gnome-sushi
You may need to log-out and log-in again or just run gnome-sushi in a terminal to make it work for the first time.
To install gloobus you have to add its repository and then install it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gloobus-dev/gloobus-preview sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gloobus-preview gloobus-sushi
You many need to install unoconv to preview some files like .odf, .ods, etc.
sudo apt-get -y install unoconv
