  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version

Issue

Just discovered and installed hyper and it's exactly what I was looking for from a terminal, except for one thing. I'm looking to create multiple shortcuts to Hyper, each one for a different terminal (Bash, CMD, PowerShell). To do this, I need to be able to pass a parameter to Hyper to specify which terminal I want to start. I don't really mind if I can directly specify the 'shell' value, or if I can specify the path to a specific .hyper.js config file for Bash, CMD, PowerShell, etc.

I took a look through the issues and I didn't see anything like this request in there, so apologies if something similar has been asked before.

Research direction

The issue names .hyper.js and asks for startup selection among Bash, CMD, and PowerShell. Start by tracing how Hyper reads .hyper.js and handles application startup arguments; done means separate launch shortcuts can select each requested terminal without changing the shared configuration.
