Background

Support for triggering a file picker when trying to :open a directory was added in #2707. But it seems like ~ is not automatically expanded by the Helix command prompt in parsing the file path. As a result, the path ~/some_directory proceeds into the file opening branch, which then fails with the below shown status message.

helix1.mov

It would be nice to implement support for this as a small QOL improvement. I can open a fix for this, assuming that there aren't any outstanding objections in prior discussions that I'm not aware of.
