when run the command of helm-find-projectile-file, it will show a file lists in the mini buffer, and then I can use up and down key to select the file I want to view. But is it possible to view the file content when I select a file without press the "Enter" key? if press the Enter key, then I have to get back the helm session. I just want to use up and down key to go through each file, and then let emacs show the file content immediately.
You have to press C-j or C-zto see the content of the thing under the selection.

Try helm-follow-mode, it should do the trick.
