This is true - I'd vote for keeping 'Dir Alt-J' free for this purpose.

Very nice idea. 
This would even allow to switch all three options in CO-2J at runtime (surely with screen redraw).
These are (citing ZTW.HLP chapter 3.7.2):
  J Hide System/Hidden dirs and/or junctions
      Set to "+SH" to hide System and Hidden directories.
      Set to "+J" to hide junctions (reparse-points).
      Set to "+SHJ" to hide S and H directories and junctions.

[Q] Should all three options be changeable at runtime?

I like the idea to use Alt+D for a Display options submenu.
Here a proposal how it could look like:

DISPLAY OPTIONS:    (room for other settings)
  HIDE DIRS:  [H]idden (no )  [J]unctions (yes)  [S]ystem (no )
Enter display option                           ?-+ OK  F1 Help  Esc Cancel  F12 Reset

Opinions?
