Current Behavior

There is a combination of keys that I still haven't figure out what it is; which I type by mistake and enables the view of hidden files. Viewing hidden files makes the machine freeze, given that there are many hiden files, I assume.

Expected Behavior

I would like to disable seeing hidden files.

Context

I have to wait 5 to 10 minutes to get the machine to unfreeze.

By default, pressing z h toggle show_hidden file.

Hi, @Rom1deTroyes

Thanks, that's one combination of keys that does it. However I am sure I did not press zh. There is something else that is making this happen that is been pressed by mistake and maybe once every two days with my workflow. I work with a remote server and there are many hidden files. Every time this combination happens, the machine freezes for a few minutes trying to load everything that is hidden. I rarely need to toggle show-hidden, do you know how this can be turned off?

Cheers.

You can go on your rc.conf file and edit the line:
set show_hidden true
to
set show_hidden false

This will make it hide files on default. Additionally, if you don't want to accidentally press zh and toggle hidden files again, you can comment the line map zh set show_hidden! using a # in the beggining

Dear @thalesnunes ,

Thanks, I will remove that option. I will come back if I keep seeing this problem though :D

Cheers.
