And actually typing a path that begins with a slash really requires two slashes. One to open the input box and then another slash to actually begin the path. For paths beginning with ~ (something I use frequently), I have to type /~ (or Ctrl-L ~). Understandably the "/" key is a hidden power-user shortcut while normal folks are supposed to hit Ctrl-L (which is a standard combination across a variety of apps and OSes). I might have to hack the code to at least make it so that if I press the "/" key I get the input field with a slash already in it. And maybe add "~" to be a shortcut key to the say dialog but place a ~ already in the field. The inconsistency the you mention would still be there, though. Typing a full path or one beginning with a ~ would work as expected, but typing in a relative path would just open the file searching thing.
