I know how to tell Finder to show hidden files, but when I try to open a file in Sublime Text 2, the GUI that pops up do not let me see hidden files. How do I tell it to show me hidden files?

You can press "Command + Shift + ." while the dialog is open, which will toggle show/hide hidden files.

completely ridiculous for Apple to hide this option as well – prusswan Sep 26 '12 at 3:27

There seems to be a bug where pressing ⇧⌘. doesn't show hidden files immediately. They're shown after I change the folder from the source list though.

For me it works immediately in Mountain Lion. – JPS Sep 18 '12 at 13:54
When I tried it again, the files weren't shown immediately at first, but then it started working normally after I opened a new window. – Lauri Ranta Sep 19 '12 at 3:03
