Like in InDesign where you can hit "W" to preview without the stuff outside the artboard, is there to look at the work thats just in the Composition?

Illustrator has no equivalent. You can add a layer with white or grey boxes to cover the bleed, then show/hide that layer whenever you want a clean InDesign-like preview.

Hey, what i do is SHIFT>OPT> COMMAND> S all at once, as if you're going to save for web, gives you a png preview (or whatever you have it set to show), you can then cancel it.
