A way to type paths using Environment Variables in the open menu
In the open menu, I should can use something like %WINDIR% in Windows or $HOME in Linux.
This is a natural behavior when using Windows Explorer, so I expect this works on the open menu. Currently, it creates file named %WINDIR% while I expect it should be expanded to C:\Windows.

It would be nice if we could just type out the folder path in general rather than having to use the tree-like browser. Also the information hierarchy is pretty awkward right now in the UI:
Folder Path File Name Folder Browser
Windows' various GUI Save-As dialogs organize it better:
Folder Path (editable) Folder Browser File Name File Type
And support for ~ in addition to %USERPROFILE% would be nice as well.
You can type the folder path in the file name field. This is also true with Windows Explorer.
I finally just tried to use Edit today, for the first real task, and this is the first thing I tried doing, and it didn't work.
I went to File --> Open, then tried typing ~/.ssh/config, but of course the tilde isn't recognized like it is in the shell. Even $HOME doesn't work.
Hoping this will get implemented.
