I've got it saying toggle hidden, but none of the hidden files showed up
even after setting it right.

I made a .test.txt fie in ~/Documents and hit toggle hidden, with no
luck. The .test.txt doesn't show up nor do places like .config.

Is that a Solus issue? I'm only running into this as my one big issue
with DragonFM. I unbound Backspace from history and put it on show
hidden instead so I can ctrl+H for hidden toggle
