I think I've something for you (this is quite old already ...):
https://gist.github.com/Houl/20881b64aa05d5ecda60914598b3e754

This script temporarily expands an env var like $HOME and later converts it back.

Usage:

* store script in the runtimepath under
autoload\nwo\mappings\cxf_mod.vim
(only tested under Windows!)

* add a mapping for i_CTRL-X_CTRL-F in your vimrc:
imap <expr> <C-X><C-F> nwo#mappings#cxf_mod#Plug()
