  • Finder is the Mac's native file browser
  • Cyberduck's file browsing experience ideally harmonizes its shortcuts to that of the Finder.
  • Hence ⌘ ⇧ . would be the optimal shortcut for Menu → View → Show Hidden Files (currently: ⌘ ⇧ R)
  • I think the mnemonic for ⌘ ⇧ . is also excellent:
    • "Dot files" (on Unix systems) are somehow synonymous with "invisible files"
    • ⌘ . is the established Mac key combo for the more important command "stop/abort current running process"
    • Hence for the lesser important view toggle option gets the additional shift modifier key.
