Issue
Currently, it seems that Hyper does not accept any command line arguments. I understand the design, however, it prevents from one very important ability. I want to have a shortcut set in my system to open a new terminal window. Surely, I can run /Applications/Hyper.app/Contents/MacOS/Hyper ~, however, it does not create just a new window, it runs a separate instance of Hyper, which in result takes around 3-5 seconds to open a terminal window on the most buffy MacBook vs almost instant experience when pressing cmd+N on currently opened Hyper window.
It would be amazing to allow running /Applications/Hyper.app/Contents/MacOS/Hyper -n ~ which will just create a new window of Hyper in the same process, as many other apps allow.

Research direction
Start at the Hyper executable entry point at /Applications/Hyper.app/Contents/MacOS/Hyper and trace how launching it differs from pressing cmd+N. Determine how a -n argument could request a new window in the existing process, then verify that it opens promptly without starting a separate Hyper instance.
