"!" is the history reference character, so !~ means to search for a
history event beginning with a tilde and substitute that event into
the command at that position.
Apparently somewhere in your command history you typed ~/.ssh/config
at the beginning of a line, and now !~ is finding that as the history
event to substitute.
You can "setopt NO_BANG_HIST" to disable this, or you can use single
quotes '!~' to prevent the expansion (double quotes permit it).
It's additinally possible that your /etc/z* files or some other init
file have attached the magic-space widget to the space character.
This causes !-history references to IMMEDIATELY expand when followed
by a space, even a space originating from copy-paste (at your version
number; behavior of paste has changed in very recent zsh).
