[Feature Request] Allow command execution on user's default terminal application

[krishna-gujjjar]

Currently, Freeter executes commands in the macOS Terminal app by default. This feature request proposes two functionalities:

1. Utilize User's Default Terminal: Freeter should leverage the user's preferred terminal application, as set in System Preferences. For example, if iTerm2 is the default terminal, Freeter should launch commands within iTerm2.

2. Optional Terminal Selection (Optional): If implementing option 1 proves complex, consider offering a user setting within Freeter to allow selection of the preferred terminal application (e.g., iTerm2, Terminal.app).

This feature would enhance user experience by allowing users to leverage the functionalities and customisations of their preferred terminal application while using Freeter.

How to get the default Terminal app in MacOS? Does the following command work with iTerm2?

/usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get POSIX path of (application file of application "Terminal" as alias)'

You can always run commands in iTerm2 from the default Terminal app using the following script: iterm_cmd.sh
