If anyone is wondering what magic they're seeing here: Quick and dirty demo (animated gif, click to expand): Doesn't require hacking Terminal.app by injecting code.Go2Shell supports it fine: open -a Go2Shell -args config, select iTerm2.Recursive split panes, as well as tabs.multiple system-wide hotkeys for flexible "visors", with customizable settings for each.

It's absolutely worth investing the time to figure it out, since it can do what you're asking now, and probably what's you'll be asking next as well. But once you overcome that, it makes up for it manyfold in power and flexibility. You might have looked at iTerm before, perhaps found its configuration/preferences to be cumbersome, and yes, that's not one of its strongest points.
MAC GO2SHELL UPGRADE
Simply by virtue of the fact that you're asking these questions, and its important enough to you to post a bounty, I think It's probably time to upgrade to a more powerful terminal emulator. (I'm venturing that is basically the case since I found myself in that same situation not all that long ago.) I'm using the Terminal a lot these days, and I've found TotalTerminal to be very useful. If I can take the liberty of guessing your underlying question, I think it might be something to the effect of: If you decide to use this and can't get it to work, let me know. Probably a couple other things I'm forgetting.It doesn't work 100% like Go2Shell, as something in Finder must be selected - if it seems to not be working, make sure you've clicked something.Your startup action must be "new window with settings: Visor".You will need to "enable access for Assistive Devices" (You must have TotalTerminal open (i.e., the menu bar icon) prior to using this.⌘-drag into Finder toolbar to "install".It's an Automator applet with an unholy mixture of shell, AppleScript, and a couple System Events triggers. Original, and boiled answer: Yes, and sure: In fact, here, I've written you a little app. (Very related to your linked second question, I think.)
MAC GO2SHELL WINDOWS
Is it possible to have multiple windows (or tabs) in the Visor of TotalTerminal? Is there a way to use TotalTerminal with Go2Shell or to open in TotalTerminal a shell set to the current directory? Ask a two part question, get a four-part answer!
