feat: support path completion of named directories (as in zsh)

[beorn]

Dupe Check

• I have searched Warp feature requests and there are no duplicates

Describe the solution you'd like?

In zsh you can do this to create shortcuts to directories:

# in .zshrc
projects=~/Documents/Projects
notes=~/Documents/Personal/Notes

and then reference them, e.g., ~notes/bla.md, on the command line. This works when you do actual commands, e.g., cd ~notes, but completion doesn't work. I would expect to be able to do:

cd ~projects/<TAB>

and have the auto-complete kick in.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Yes, I hit but I'm not getting the path completion.

Additional context

See zsh manual

Thanks for this feature request @beorn. There isn't a workaround at this time other than to run zsh and fallback to shell completions (although blocks and other warp features will temporarily be disabled).
