Description
Hey, I started using a mac recently, and I would like to have a dedicated button to open a new terminal window, the way I have it now is: I have keyboard shortcut to launch open -a iTerm ~.
I want to switch to hyper but right now I didn't find any way to do this without creating a new instance (and spamming my Dock with a thousand instances).
I would like to use Hyper and this is a must feature before I switch (I know it is possible to do with tabs but I don't like them).
Is there a way to do this via command like?
Thanks!
Ohad

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by reviewing Hyper's existing macOS launch and command-line handling, using the reported open -a iTerm ~ workflow as the reference behavior. Done means a command-line action opens a new Hyper window without spawning another application instance.
