Nice to see that in JXA.    :smile:

This vanilla AppleScript will cd the the current Terminal session (if not busy) to the front Finder window (or the Desktop if no windows are open) — it will open a new Terminal window IF the currently selected tab is busy.

tell application "Finder" to set _dir to insertion location as alias

tell application "Terminal"
   tell selected tab of front window
      if its busy = false then
         do script "cd " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of _dir)) in it
      else
         do script "cd " & (quoted form of (POSIX path of _dir))
      end if
   end tell
end tell
