Show hidden Files and folders on Mac

In Windows there is a setting in the UserInterface to show or hide hidden files and folders, but on a Mac not.

Most people only need to access the hidden Library folder sometimes and this is easy : Open a Finder window and hold the Alt key when you press on Go in the Finder menu bar, you see Library in the list now.

When you double click on Library it opens the folder in Finder. You can use the shortcut CMD+Shift+T now to add the Library folder to your Favourites bar in Finder so it is easy to find it the next time you need it.

Tip: If you want to view hidden files and folders in a Open or Save dialog in Office or in Finder you can use this shortcut when the dialog is open to toggle the view Command+Shift+Dot
