Fish shell integration Ctrl+T file search outside current working directory

[RadimEZ]

This is about the fish shell intgration of fzf, not fzf itself

fzf 0.57.0
fish 3.7.1
("pwd" means "current working directory")

When I set up fzf's fish-integration initially I remember a different behaviour.

Consider the following example:

1. Enter another directory

~> cd /tmp/
/tmp>

now my pwd is /tmp/

2. Prepare prompt

I enter the following prompt and press Ctrl+T

/tmp> cat file.txt ~/Documents/

3. Observe result

old/good:
Previously it would search within ~/Documents/ allowing me to enter search phrase (despite pwd still /tmp/)

current/bad:
Now it searches within pwd (here /tmp) and pre-fills the search phrase with the term "~/Documents/" which is not what I need.

How to fix it? How to restore previous behaviour? Cannot use Ctrl+T with paths outside current working directory like this.

Any support is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Further investigation revealed it only works with variables but not ~ itself

For example
/tmp> cat file.txt ~/Documents/
then pressing Ctrl+T searches within /tmp/ looking for ~/Documents/

and
/tmp> cat file.txt $HOME/Documents/
correctly expands and searches within the path provided at the prompt level

Maybe it has always been like that (but I don't remember ever having to use the $HOME variable explititly either).

It could be considered as a further improvement for the future, to handle ~ exactly like $HOME.

Please test with the latest version of fzf, 0.60.1.
