Creating a second window for an app. Eg a new Terminal Window

[Ian7110]

Easy to set up a shortcut to start the terminal app. Is it possible to open a new additional terminal window? Ideally I would like to have just one shortcut to open up a terminal if none exists and also an additional terminal if one already exits

A quick ChatGPT session gave me this script that seems to work well.

Save it somewhere, chmod +x [script] on it, and run it as a command in Leader Key:

#!/usr/bin/osascript
if application "Terminal" is running then
    tell application "Terminal"
        set windowCount to count of windows
        activate
        tell application "System Events" to keystroke "n" using command down
    end tell
else
    tell application "Terminal" to activate
end if

Thanks for that. That was going to be my next step but I was hoping it could be done in your app

set windowCount to count of windows seems redundant, windowCount is not used anywhere.

@zenangst you're right!
