Enhancement request: add ability to hide private attributes from Variable Explorer Object view

Problem Description

When double clicking an object in the Variable Explorer to open the Object Viewer, one can optionally turn on and off Show Special and Show Callable by using buttons in the Object View window. This request is to add a third option: “Show private”. Any attrs, properties, and methods with a leading underscore would be hidden when this new option is toggled off.

This would be an improvement to reduce visual clutter for viewing classes that have many private attrs.

@jbiz25 I’m not sure how likely this is to get implemented anytime soon; I imagine that instead of special-casing _ we could simply sort all symbols after letters not unsure how generally applicable that change is. For now, is it too much of an inconvenience to simply sort Name by ascending instead of descending, so that they get sorted at the end?
