Your home directory is likely where you'll toggle it on anyways since it has all the dotfiles usually.

  For the record, there is also another way: click the url navigator widget and type `.c [Tab]` (will auto-complete to `.config`). No need to toggle hidden visibility and no need to group hidden files.

  Yes please, if you could add a test I'd probably be ok with accepting this patch.
