I'm in the middle of a migration from Ubuntu to Fedora. How do I make Nautilis in Fedora show the hidden files and folders (those with a dot)? It's Nautilus 3.8.2, if I go to Preferences and choose "show hidden and backup files", they keep getting ignored.

Open terminal and type:
dconf-editor
Enter and then:
org -> gtk -> settings -> file-chooser
mark show-hidden

1@fixer1234- install dconf-editor then navigate to org ->gtk->settings->file-chooser through dconf-edtor, then in the file-chooser mark the show-hidden checkbox – Emil George James – 2015-09-03T03:24:44.817
Sadly, this does not appear to work as of Fedora 29. I tried setting it, nothing happened. Tried re-starting as well. The option sticks in dconf-editor, but it doesn't appear to do anything. However, control+H does work to toggle showing hidden files. – Tyler Shellberg – 2019-11-22T15:47:51.490
1I just found out I can press CTRL+H to show hidden files. It is a non-satisfactory workaround, as I have to press it every time I open a new window. – That Brazilian Guy – 2013-10-08T15:12:37.840
