One thing that I miss from Windows is the Windows Explorer (yes, I like it). Finder is not as good as Windows Explorer…

Permanent solution

I like to see all my files, so to do it on MacOS , open a terminal and type

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
killall Finder

Revert changes

This setting is persisted even after a restart, so if you want to go back to your previous status (hidden files are hidden), open a terminal again and type:

defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles false
killall Finder

Finder shortcode

  1. Open Finder
  2. Hit Cmd + Shift + Dot key (.)

Revert Changes

Repeat the same shortcode

  1. Open Finder
  2. Hit Cmd + Shift + Dot key (.)
