Is it possible to change the application being used to quick look a certain file extension in Mac OS. (I'm using Mountain Lion).

For example, right now the .properties file quick look is always showing as a black box (terminal-like icon with "exec" text). How can I change this quick look to show the file content instead, using some kind of text editor.

Thanks!!!

QLStephen described by @jobatabs is only one of the many plugins. In fact, at the time of this answer (2021), you can find various kinds of plugins to install to 'quicklook' various types of file extensions. You can find them here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins
