#1504 Feature Request: Open Selected Filename starting with tilde/home path

[Juarez Rudsatz]

Issue

Currently SciTE command Open Selected Filename(<dbd>Ctrl</dbd>+<dbd>Shift</dbd>+<dbd>O</dbd>) opens:

• /home/username/path/to/myfile.txt
• /home/username/.SciTEUser.properties
• ./path/to/myfile.txt

But it doesn't open:

• ~/path/to/myfile.txt
• ~/.SciTEUser.properties
• $HOME/.SciTEUser.properties
• ${HOME}/.SciTEUser.properties
• ./config/settings${ENVIRONMENTT}.ini

This patch allows SciTE to open the paths starting with tilde:
