Hello Piscium,

You can toggle this variable by pressing `.` in a dired buffer.
The setting applies to all dired current and future buffers, yet it is not 
saved (yet) when you exit qemacs.

If you want to hide the dot files by default when loading qemacs, add a line to 
your ~/.qe/config file:

   dired_show_dot_files=0;

You could also add these lines to create named macros and bind them to "f2" and 
"f3" but given how easy it is to switch inside a dired buffer, it seems hardly 
necessary:

   define_kbd_macro(“hide-dot_files", "M-x set-variable RET 1 RET", "f2");
   define_kbd_macro(“hide-dot_files", "M-x set-variable RET 0 RET", "f3");

I have started working on stabilizing and documenting all these features.
As you have noticed, dired-mode is not quite as functional as in emacs, can you 
tell me what you use it for in emacs that you miss in qemacs?

Cheers

Chqrlie
