Hey everybody! I am working on this workflow where I have a file filter with the most important text files (for me, at least) to open with vim in iTerm. Currently I have it configured so that I can choose to just run vim and get a new document or I can choose to run "v $SOMEFILE" in Alfred to make it open that way. It's super cool, I've used https://github.com/stuartcryan/custom-iterm-applescripts-for-alfred/ and Macvimtoolbox as inspiration for this. There is one bug, however. When the active iTerm window is not just showing a prompt but engaged, then the script doesn't open a new windows but just pastes the "nvim /path/to/file" into the window. I'd like to configure the Apple-script to just open a new window in that case. How do I do that? The code I'm using is here, btw: on alfred_script(q) my runIniTerm( "nvim " & q & "" ) end alfred_script -- This is v0.5 of the custom script for AlfredApp for iTerm 2.9+ -- Please see https://github.com/stuartcryan/custom-iterm-applescripts-for-alfred/ -- for the latest changes. on is_running(app_name) tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains app_name end is_running -- Please note, if you store the iTerm binary in any other location than the Applications Folder -- please ensure you update the two locations below (in the format of : rather than / for folder dividers) -- this gets around issues with AppleScript not handling things well if you have two iTerm binaries on your system... which can happen on runIniTerm(q) if is_running("iTerm2") or is_running("iTerm") then run script " on run {q} tell application \":Applications:iTerm.app\" activate try select first window set onlywindow to true on error create window with default profile select first window set onlywindow to true end try tell the first window if onlywindow is false then create tab with default profile end if tell current session to write text q end tell end tell end run " with parameters {q} else run script " on run {q} tell application \":Applications:iTerm.app\" activate try select first window on error create window with default profile select first window end try tell the first window tell current session to write text q end tell end tell end run " with parameters {q} end if end runIniTerm The workflow can be found here: https://transfer.sh/Ul5L3/Open-files-with-Vim.alfredworkflow

The snippet expansion works fine in every application I use, including iTerm itself, but not when using Neovim in iTerm. This is my main text editor so I'd love if the snippets worked in Neovim
