I discovered the well-known shortcut ⌘ CMD + ⇧ SHIFT + . to quickly show and hide hidden files in finder. Unfortunately, this shortcut doesn't work on non-US keyboards.

How can I show/hide files using a shortcut with AZERTY keyboard?

Note:

  • I know I can update com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles and kill the finder, but I am looking for a shortcut based solution.
  • I currently work with macOS Mojave 10.14.6

  • @Fatih that will definitely work, but there is definitely keyboard shortcuts available to reveal hidden files, but it may be specific to your type of keyboard layout, or if you somehow changed the keyboard shortcut for some other application it may overwrite the hidden files keyboard shortcut.
