  @broulik oh awesome. Uhg, not sure why I didn't see that function.

  They get in the way no matter the sorting when you have "folders first" enabled in `~/` since it has 10 to 20 hidden folders (like `~/.local` and `~/.config`) before your user folders (`~/Music`). Your home directory is likely where you'll toggle it on anyways since it has all the dotfiles usually.
  
  - Right now it expects you to browse with hidden files invisible, which means you have to know they are there before you go looking for them.
  - Toggling hidden files on means you need to toggle it off afterwards, before you leave the current directory, which you can't if you want to enter a hidden directory. Otherwise you have to toggle it off the next time you visit the folder.
  - It's a lot easier to just leave them visible at the bottom and type `.config [Enter]` or scroll to the bottom and click.
  
  Just realized I probably need to also write a test in `src/tests/kfileitemmodeltest.cpp` if this gets accepted. `KFileItemModelTest::testSorting()` probably.
  
  As for maintaining, so long as I use KDE I'll probably be rebasing an expirimental branch on dolphin/master <https://github.com/Zren/dolphin#dolphin-zren> with a few experimental features. Merging this upstream is mostly for the others who were interested in this feature that don't want to compile every few months. I can understand if you don't want to bet on me not being around 10 years from now though.
