How to Toggle Showing Hidden Files in macOS Catalina

August 17, 2020macOSshortcuts

Today I needed to see some hidden files inside finder to make sure that when copying from one folder to another one, all the files that I needed came along for the ride. The shortcut in the previous OS was just

CMD + .
, but that wasn't working for me in macOS Catalina.

After a little searching I found the new shortcut! Here it is.

CMD + Shift + Fn + .

That should get hidden files toggling on and off for you in Finder. Cheers! 🍻
