How to open hyper at current directory.

1.Go to the forked cd_to github repository and download the latest release.(zipped) Download From Github.

2.Within cd_to, open the Hyper folder and drag the cd_to.app file into your Applications folder MacDown Screenshot.

3.Now open up Automator and create a new service.
File>New>Service(gear icon).Be sure to save the service with an effective name like "Hyper Terminal at Folder"

4.Finally create a Run Shell Script command from the utilities panel and type in open /Applications/cd_to.app

If everything worked out properly when you click run it should open a Hyper terminal instance at the Applications folder where automator is located.

Creating a Shortcut for the Service

1.Go to System Preferences>Keyboard. And in the services pane find the service that has the same name as your automator script. Then assign a new short cut by clicking Add Shortcut. I used Control + Cmd + H as several shortcuts are already taken within Finder.

If your shortcut is not working immediately go click it manually once a folder is selected from Finder's menubar and the keyboard shortcut should be activated. As the service is only available on file/folder contexts.

Drag the cd_to app from Application folder to toolbar while pressing CMD key will make the app become a button. Every time you click the button it will open the current folder in hyper.
