Question: hiding modules on module avail but defaulting module spider to --show-hidden

[surak]

I have been looking for this for a bit, but didn't come up with a good answer so far.

Is there a way to hide the modules as usual on the module avail, but then, when searching for them, always include the hidden ones as well? Like defaulting module spider to --show-hidden even if it's not added to it.

I have added support for an env. var. LMOD_SHOW_HIDDEN. You can set this var to all, spider, list or avail or any combination separated by colons:

export LMOD_SHOW_HIDDEN=spider:list

would show hidden modules when using spider or list.

Please test the IS690-hide branch to see if it works for you and please report back on how it works for you.
