Scottish/gaelic "fein" is pronounced "hain", meaning self/yourself.

#43Native Windows-S does nearly the same thing, does it not?

#44Shouldn't the docs mention that alt-space already does something on windows? Or is it assumed that whoever doesn't know about the default functionality won't miss it? Or maybe everyone knows?
Sometimes people just get a great idea for a cool keyboard shortcut and simply don't know that it already has a standard meaning. This may be such a case, and Parallels is definitely one. Parallels 11 takes over the spacebar (just plain spacebar) in Windows Explorer, using it to pop up an OSX Quick Look panel like it does in Finder. They apparently didn't think to check whether spacebar already does something in Expl…

That's because it's spelled "féin" as Gaeilge, so it's more like 'fay-n'

What on earth does spacebar do? I've been using windows for decades and I have no clue! I just tried it right now and still have no clue!

#50As others have pointed out, there are stuff that should not be made with Electron and this is one type of app that just shouldn't. If it is platform specific anyways, why not do it in like C# or something that would make it lighter and faster?
I can't speak about the "faster" part, though.
