Show hidden files on "prompt_open" + "super+shift+."

#1

What is the command name equivalent, please, for “super+shift+.” once the file open dialog command has been issued?

The goal is to automatically display hidden files when issuing the “prompt_open” command.

I was thinking of perhaps chaining commands, with a chain command plugin that is already in my arsenal. But if there is a better way to do it, I sure would appreciate any suggestions.

That’s an OS thing, so it’s probably not exposed in Sublime Text’s API.

This plugin does something very similar to what I’m looking for – I will need to study it more closely when I have some free time.

not a real solution … but if you already know the hidden filename the file open dialog window does have a pencil looking widget at top left which lets you type in the hidden file name - lame solution but useful in a pinch
