Mac::iTerm::LaunchPad

[ #32212 ]

Inspired by Ovid's terminal applescript, Chris wrote a Mac::Glue version for iTerm. I've turned that into Mac::iTerm::LaunchPad and given it even more features. It opens a new window with multiple tabs, one for each directory I specify. The arguments can be aliases (nicknames, not the fs type) for directories. Once I had this in came in very handy for developing itself and releasing itself.

---Frontmost finder directory, defaulting to desktop
% new-iterm
 
---Frontmost finder directory, using special alias
% new-iterm finder
 
---Named directory
% new-iterm /Users/brian/Dev
 
---Named directory with ~
% new-iterm ~/Dev
 
---Multiple tabs
% new-iterm ~/Dev ~/Foo ~/Bar
 
---Aliases, predefined in code
% new-iterm music applications
 
---Aliases, defined in your own ~/.new-iterm-aliases
% new-iterm foo bar baz

This should be one of those meme things. I tag dha, who now has to improve on it in some way.
