To install GNOME Sushi on Ubuntu run this command: sudo apt-get install gnome-sushiĪlternatively, install the app using Ubuntu Software: Its seamless preview prowess is such that, after a few days of use, you will begin to wonder how you managed without it! GNOME Sushi is a simple feature that makes a major impact on your workflow. You can’t preview an image and then hit a button to annotate it there, in the same window.įor most common file previews Sushi does give you the option to open the file in the default app associated with the file type, which is better than nothing. One feature Sushi (sadly) lacks from its macOS counterpart is ‘actions’.

It’s an intuitive behaviour that is easy to adopt a spacebar tap to preview, a spacebar tap to dismiss. To close a Sushi preview press the space bar again. E.g., say you preview an image file beginning with the letter ‘a’, you can then press the right arrow key to select a PDF beginning with the letter ‘b’, and it “just works”. You can use your keyboard’s arrow keys to page between different files when viewing a preview, with Sushi automatically adjusting the size and features of the window to accommodate.
