How difficult would this be?

I like this idea a great deal as well. Especially because I often hit 
the tab completion almost reflexively, and sometimes then remember what 
I am looking for. Having a short-cut path would improve the interactivity.

Last note, is there a temporary way to *disable* the particular aspects 
that are slowing this down? Specifically tab completions on the path 
"~/" are quite slow until they are completely cached, despite fast 
completions on "$HOME/". I don't understand why the former cannot simply 
map to the latter?

Thanks!
