Describe the bug

A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

When opening the Create Extension menu in Vicinae on Windows, the "Location" placeholder says ~/code/vicinae-extensions. However, this is not a valid Windows path.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open Vicinae
  2. Search "Create Extension"
  3. Open up the extension creation wizard
  4. Notice that the path placeholder is incorrect

Expected behavior

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.
The placeholder could get the current user and say C:\Users\example\code\vicinae-extensions or C:\Users\example\AppData\Local\vicinae\extensions or use the system environment variable and say %CURRENTUSER%\code\vicinae-extensions or %LOCALAPPDATA%\vicinae\extensions
