A way to not display the `@` (at sign) for files with extended attributes about exa HOT 8 CLOSED

So, this issue should probably be transferred to eza

from exa.

I don't think there is any way to do this, but as a workaround you could define a colour for the setting for extended attributes to be the same as the background colour of your terminal emulator ANSI theme. Then, it wouldn't be visible.

The extended attribute indicator key in $EXA_COLORS is xa.

There's actually ANSII escape code for invisible/hidden text, so EXA_COLORS=xa=8, hides it.

This is a good workaround, but I think it would still be good to have an option for disabling them. Because this way there is an extra whitespace that doesn't do anything and makes the gaps between columns inconsistant.

More importantly, the xa is also responsible for color of the names of extended attributes when using the --extended/-@ option. And setting it to 8 will hide those as well, which is not good.

It looks like #855 would do this if merged.

It's already been merged into eza: eza-community/eza#61

@ariasuni here's one

I just tested it and the @ is still displayed when using eza -l and eza -l -@.
