❓ What?

Hidden folders are disabled by default on MacOS, which means it won’t see any files and folders starting a . (period/dot).

❔ Why?

Sometimes when I want to open a new folder from VSCode, I am at a loss on how to proceed with opening a config file which typically resides in ~/.config.

🎤 How?

Press CMD + SHIFT + .

Of course, this can also be toggled globally with a defaults command, like when enabling key spam.
