command-line arguments.
 
So my command should work, IMO:
ls --hide "*.pub" id_ed*  
 
id_ed* would expand to all files starting with id_ed
ls will stat them and get their name
--hide should hide those matching the pattern.ls should display the
expected result of all id_ed private key files.
I don't understand why --hide is depending on whether FILEs were provided
or not to the command. This is the opposite of what Paul stated.
Best regards
