hyper Hyper should open at the cwd

[x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version
[x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

OS version and name: Ubuntu 16.10
Hyper.app version: 1.0.0

Issue

A VS Code user is attempting to configure hyper as an external terminal, we use the current working directory to solve this issue generally which doesn't appear to work for Hyper. I then checked hyper --help if there are any args that control this (which is less than ideal) but --help is not implemented (#1212).

Does adding hypercwd to your plugin list fix this?

@IanMitchell that's purely for launching a new tab within hyper itself isn't it? I need to launch a new instance externally at a particular directory, ideally relying on cwd and not some special tags so it doesn't need to be handled specially.

@Tyriar Yes it is. I'm currently working on allowing this possibility. At the same time of command invocation

Ah, gotcha. My bad, didn't fully understand

@nsna's comment on a different issue fixed this for me on Windows:

In a nutshell, regedit, browse to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\Hyper\command, and edit the value to:

C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Local\hyper\app-1.0.0\Hyper.exe "%V"

This should really work out of the box, at least for Unix-like systems where all terminals behave like this to my knowledge. Doing this may also fix the context menu issue #1165

Is it possible to get this feature ?

Do note that https://github.com/hharnisc/hypercwd is currently broken as of version 1.2.2, so if you are having issues with it and got here via a Google search, check their repo for an update.
