I have used stow before but I don't always want to name files what they are named.

When I want to edit a file I type vim but I can't always remember what the name of the file. I use tab to cycle through the files but it doesn't show dot files. I then have to type . then tab through the files.

I find this pretty annoying so I remove the dots in my dotfile repo but then stow wasn't symlinking to the correct file since there should be a dot

Does anybody have a solution that lets you alias files but still use stow or an alternative?

I don't want to write my own script or change the behavior of tabbing through files to also show dot files.
