iTerm2 Finder Droplet

Like most developers I spend alot of time in Terminal and recently switched back to iTerm2 in hopes of increasing productivity. Unfortunately iTerm doesn’t come with any Finder services to quickly launch into folders like Terminal. I find alot of applications will let you open a project folder in Finder but lack terminal support so I end up using this feature quite a bit.

After thinking about it a little bit, I figured a toolbar application for Finder would probably be faster than trying to click on a line in a nested context menu. I found an old AppleScript app I wrote back in 2012 and slightly tweaked it.

_config.yml

Still need to work on the icon a bit but I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. I was able to give it a few keyboard modifiers as well for more flexibility with how iTerm should open the location. Check it out on Github.
