tilde directories trailing '~' #437

Closed s373 closed 6 years ago

s373 commented 6 years ago

Hi,Howl is great, what I've been looking to use for ages..

I've stumbled across an unexpected behavior: Howl interprets trailing '~' in directories, suggesting making new /home/user inside the directory.

makes sense if you want to quickly go home, but affects all work done in directories~. you can open the right files from a shell by calling $ howl ./dir~/file1.cpp, but then happens again and makes working hard on these dirs, and have to switch to gedit or atom to have work done here.

Keep up the great work

Ah yes I can reproduce this.

I think the issue is with File.expand_path. Should be able to submit a fix soonish.

Thanks!

I just pushed https://github.com/howl-editor/howl/tree/fix-expand-path - can you see if it fixes your issue @s373 ?
