(un)show hidden files #109

It would be good if the httm file browser had the option to (un)show hidden files and directories.

I would prefer it used the CTRL+h key combo used by most Linux file manager programs to (un)show hidden files.

I'll give it some thought. Until then there is of course the --no-hidden flag.

It's somewhat difficult, given the nature of the fuzzy finder style file browser, to just exclude a set of files on the fly. I'm not saying it's impossible, but a solution as to how one might doesn't readily come to mind. One could, of course, restart the directory transversal, but I'm not sure that's what the user wants.
