Hey There,
Hmm. I don't remember for sure.

You have to show hidden files first for it to work { Cmd-Shift-. | System-wide
keyboard shortcut for dialogs.}
Then Cmd-Shift-G to bring up the path-entry-field.

Nor should it (imo), but perhaps those options should be available separately
in the insert dialog.
Here's a script to do it, and any valid posix path or home_dir abbreviation
should work.
~/.profile
OR
/Users/home_dir/.profile
Any quoting/escaping is taken care of by the script, so something like the
following will work:
~/curl dump 'file".txt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# BBEdit
# Insert the contents of a file using a selected posix path.
# Supports home-directory notation '~/'.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
try
tell application "BBEdit"
tell front text window
set _file to selection's contents
set _file to replace "\\r+" using "" searchingString _file options
{search mode:grep, case sensitive:false}
if _file starts with "~/" then
tell _file
set qtFile to its (text 1 thru 2) & quoted form of (its text 3 thru
-1)
end tell
else
set qtFile to quoted form of _file
end if
set text of selection to do shell script "cat " & qtFile
end tell
end tell
on error e number n
set e to e & return & return & "Num: " & n
tell me to set dDlg to display dialog e with title "ERROR!" buttons
{"Cancel", "Copy", "OK"} default button "OK"
if button returned of dDlg = "Copy" then set the clipboard to e
end try
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Save the script and give it a keyboard shortcut.
Type your path directly in the BBEdit document.
Select the path.
Hit the keyboard shortcut.
