How to permanently unhide the Users Library folder in Catalina I would like to permanently unhide the /Users/&lt;myname&gt;/Library folder so that it is always viewable in a new Finder window. Please note, I am NOT referring to the Option+Go menu method. MacOS version is 10.15.2

I have tried:

chflags nohidden ~/Library
killall Finder


This does not have the desired effect. I would prefer not to resort to:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
There's a visible pref for it, no need to dig in defaults

This is simplest if you use Icon or List view*

Open to your User's Home folder - /users/[yourname]/ -  then either View Menu > Show View Options or  Cmd ⌘   J 
Check the box for Show Library Folder.



*This is just because in Column view you're less certain exactly which folder you are affecting. The Show Library option only appears when you're in exactly the right folder.
