I use vim for everything, and when in javascript, I want to ignore my node_modules directory, but reveal it when I need it. I've already applied the solution using NERDTreeIgnore, but that keeps it hidden all the time. https://superuser.com/a/185661
Some things are normally hidden, such as .gitignore, because they start with a period. I can use shift+i to show the hidden files, and that's great because I often need to edit these, but I can mostly leave them hidden. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/5057406/5114)
I want to hide node_modules, but I would like shift+i to reveal that just like the normal hidden files.
Additionally, I use python, and I want the *.pyc files to be hidden always. (I already have this in my NERDTreeIgnore.)
This seems like a thing that could have a very simple solution, but I haven't found it yet. I'm not opposed to writing some script to do this, but I'm not very well versed in vimscript and I don't want to break the existing behavior for normally hidden files and shift+i.
Thanks!
