Since you will be using this library in a "main" program, you can literally just run the Go program through "go run" or install your program/binary globally through "go install" and then run it from any terminal.

A nicer way to run the script is to "register" the plugin with iTerm2 so you can run it from iTerm's command pallette (cmd+shift+o). This means you won't need a terminal tab open or to remember what the plugin name is. See the following section on how to do that:

Ensure you enable the Python API: https://iterm2.com/python-api-auth.html
This is currently a work in progress and it is a subset of what the iTerm2 WebSocket protocol provides.
I don't intend to implement all of it as I am mainly implementing only the parts that I need for daily work.
If you'd like to add more features, feel free to open an issue and a PR.
