Use HOME environment variable, but...

[gotoh]

I'm using HOME environment variable to specify my home folder,
not with HOMEDRIVE HOMEPATH or USERPROFILE.
These are all different in my case.

HOME=c:\users\gotoh
HOMEDRIVE=f:
HOMEPATH=\
USERPROFILE=c:\Users\gotoh.TAIYO

So I made a patch to use HOME prior to USERPROFILE
to cd by execute 'z' with no argument

diff --git a/config/clink-zoxide.lua b/config/clink-zoxide.lua
index c90bb5a..87417cc 100644
--- a/config/clink-zoxide.lua
+++ b/config/clink-zoxide.lua
@@ -99,7 +99,8 @@ end
 -- 'z' alias
 local function __zoxide_z(keywords)
   if #keywords == 0 then
-    return __zoxide_cd(os.getenv 'USERPROFILE')
+    local home = os.getenv("HOME") or os.getenv("USERPROFILE")
+    return __zoxide_cd(home)
   elseif #keywords == 1 then
     local keyword = keywords[1]
     if keyword == '-' then

But by clink's special behaviour, os.getenv("HOME") returns:

1. %HOME% if defined, or...
2. %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% if defined, or..
3. %USERPROFILE%

What is good fix to use HOME?

It seems like your use case is pretty unique. I don't think I want to add any specialized logic in this script to support non-standard home directory setups, but feel free to just hard-code your preferred path into the script on your machine.

[gotoh]

Yes, my case is not normal.
However, if the user is using HOME for any reason, 'clink-zoxide.lua' may not work as expected
even though clink supports a "HOME" environment by implementing own get_env() behaviour.

@gotoh Your user profile is at c:\Users\gotoh.TAIYO, so it must have been recreated by the OS because your old profile was corrupted or it had to be remade for some other reason, or you tried making a new profile using the same username.

So you should be using that profile only as that is your current user profile. Anything pointing to the old profile is wrong.

[gotoh]

clink's function tilde-expand supports HOME, so I would appreciate it if clink-zoxide could use os.getnev("HOME").

BTW, My USERPROFILE is gotoh.TAIYO because I already had gotoh as a local account and joined domain:TAIYO with an account with the same name, so it was created separately.
And HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH are forced by domain's policy.
Anyway it is not a main point of this issue.

I think I understand what you mean. Since the special behavior for HOME will fallback to USERPROFILE, I think it's fine to use HOME instead.

@gotoh if you can test and send a PR to use HOME, I would be happy to merge it.

I've made a PR #14.
