[oXygen-user] Viewing . (dot) directories / files in OS X

[Sorin Ristache]

Hello,

You are right, we should mention the Command-Shift-Period shortcut in 
the User Manual. We will add it to the User Manual in the next version 
of Oxygen.

Please note that this shortcut is more an OS X feature than an Oxygen 
one. Oxygen does not set that shortcut in the Open dialog or in the Save 
dialog and does not do something special for enabling it. The User 
Manual is focused on Oxygen features but it can mention an OS X shortcut 
that can replace an Oxygen option that is missing on OS X, that is the 
option "Show hidden files and directories".


Best regards,
Sorin
