Description
- I am on the latest Hyper.app version
- I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
Feature request
Everyday I get to the office, I open 2 terminal tabs and 2 panes each, 1 tab dedicated to 2 backend services and the other dedicated to 2 frontend tasks.
I think it'd be very cool if I could launch Hyper and just Cmd + P to open "Command Palette" and just fuzzy type "wrk start" and hit Enter on first autocomplete item called "Workflows: Start <workflow_name>"
The workflow would open 2 tabs w/ 2 panes each and run the commands that otherwise I would manually, all in a blink of an eye, and I'm ready-to-go for the day.
Proposal
Hyper would expose simple API to Workflow scripts, example of above scenario:
$ cat ~/.hyper-workflows/<workflow_name>.js
import * as hyper from 'hyper'
const backendPane1 = hyper.createTab({ /* ...opts */ });
const backendPane2 = backendPane1.splitHorizontally();
const frontendPane1 = hyper.createTab({ /* ...opts */ });
const frontendPane2 = frontendPane1.splitHorizontally();
backendPane1.exec('cd ~/Projects/acme/backend && bundle exec rails s');
backendPane2.exec('cd ~/Projects/acme/backend && bundle exec rake jobs:work');
fronendPane1.exec('cd ~/Projects/acme/dashboard && yarn start');
frontendPane2.exec('cd ~/Projects/acme/app && yarn start');
backendPane2.focus();

Research direction
No implementation files or tests are named. Start by locating Hyper's Command Palette and tab/pane APIs, then inspect existing extension or plugin entry points; completion would require a named workflow to create tabs and panes, execute commands, focus a pane, and launch from the palette.
