Copy pathname from Finder with tilde (~/) instead of absolute home directory
Since OS X El Capitan, right-clicking on a file in Finder while pressing "Option" shows a menu function Copy "File.txt" as Pathname.
I wonder if I can replace the absolute path of the home directory so that I get the tilde as in
~/Documents/File.txt
instead of
/Users/My-User-Alias/Documents/File.txt
Solution 1:
No. The ~ substitution is a shell construct.
