Workflow to open new Terminal tab in currently opened window


Recommended Posts

AppleScript is your friend. Unfortunately, Terminal's scripting support sucks, so you have to simulate keyboard shortcuts instead:
 
tell application "System Events"

    tell application process "Terminal"

        set frontmost to true

        keystroke "t" using command down

    end tell

end tell

 
On my machine, that opens a new Terminal window if none is open, and creates a new tab in the front window otherwise.
