In OS X (10.5), there's a feature called Quick Look:

I knew it was there, but never really bothered to integrate it into my everyday usage. But, I saw yet another tip for it today and decided to see if it will help productivity. The basics:
1. Highlight a file (or folder)
2. Hit the space bar or command y
I love keyboard shortcuts so this will likely stay in my bag of tools, mostly because, in addition to being able to preview contents of a file without waiting for the application to launch (we all know how long it takes for Word or Excel to launch), I can hit the esc key to close it out. Yet another way to avoid needing to reach for the mouse.
