Description
iTerm2 has an option called Smart window placement (search for it on this page) that places new terminal windows where they will overlap other terminal windows the least. At the moment, Hyperterm place new windows in the center of the screen, which can at times be irritating. An option to place new windows randomly could also be useful.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Search the TypeScript code for terminal-window creation and the current centering behavior, then compare the intended placement with iTerm2's Smart window placement documentation. Done means new windows can use the requested non-centered placement behavior and the option is exposed clearly.
