Description

Vim allows tilde ~ to behave as an operator (http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/options.html#'tildeop') and it would be nice if VSCodeVim supported this behavior as well.

Research direction
Investigate how Vim's tilde operator is defined in documentation. Look at existing operator implementations in the VSCodeVim codebase, such as the 'd' or 'c' operators, to understand the pattern. Modify the key handler to support tilde as an operator when the 'tildeop' option is set. Test the changes thoroughly with various motion commands.
