Feature: Ability to hide miscellaneous hidden files like 'attris' and combining singular files to a single row #17802

Description

@VKrishna04

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

  1. It is nice that we can see all the various very hidden files like attris and all, but it is simply not useful and consumes a lot of screen space, so can there be an option to hide these kinds of miscellaneous hidden files which do not even appear in the stock Microsoft files explorer, even after enabling the show hidden files option

It simply takes up space and is not useful at all

  1. And if possible, these kinds of files can simply be clubbed together, no need for such a level of organisation, or that these single files (which in huge projects, a lot of such config files like package.json, .gitignore, etc. will appear they don't each need separate columns, making them look neater and more manageable.

Requirements

I want the ability to hide these kinds of files so that I don't need to scroll further down and such to get to what I need and make the user experience better and smoother
