Looking into this further, this isn't actually a problem with using tcsh
or the expansion of '~'. The problem is what that Vim isn't properly
detecting which shell you're using because you've set 'shell' to
"/bin/tcsh -f" instead of simply "/bin/tcsh".
In src/os_unix.c
5354 else if ((len = STRLEN(p_sh)) >= 3)
5355 {
5356 if (STRCMP(p_sh + len - 3, "csh") == 0)
5357 shell_style = STYLE_GLOB;
Vim checks whether the last 3 characters of 'shell' are "csh". Since
that fails with your setting, Vim then uses an sh-compatible method for
expansion. This obviously fails with tcsh.
So, the simple workaround for now is to simply "set shell=/bin/tcsh".
I'll send this information to Bram so he knows about it.
