January 2026 — Maccy: UI/UX refinements and accessibility improvements for the Preview experience. Implemented automatic slideout with dynamic preview width, relocated and polished the Preview Toolbar inside the preview view, and stabilized the layout of the footer/PreviewItemView during image previews. Added localization polish for the Show Preview feature and corrected translations (hr/uz). Updated keyboard shortcut to open previews from Command-I to Control-Space to boost accessibility. Fixed key UI polish bugs (delete tooltip and color consistency between clear search and close preview). Business impact: smoother, more accessible, and localized preview workflow that accelerates user productivity and broadens non-English adoption. Technologies demonstrated: UI refactor and componentization, internationalization, keyboard accessibility, and layout stability."
