Monterey hidden files shortcut not working.

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to unhide files starting with . such as .zshrc

As it has been stated by various sources I have tried the following shortcuts on my Finder.

shift + command + .(period)

shift + command + **


For the first shortcut it makes icons bigger and nothing else.

For the second one,

I can't seem to make the second shortcut work as it is impossible for me to create * while holding down shift key.

I am using Turkish Q keyboard which might be reason for this problem.


Thanks.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.0

Hey Everyone! Solved the problem. I was using the icon view in finder and that was the reason for me to not see it. I turned into the list view and the hidden files appeared.


Working shortcut : shift+command+.(dot)
