Open new terminal window with written something without press Enter mac

Question

I would like to open a new terminal window with "hello world" without the command being pressed, ie without pressing enter

I open the new window of the terminal but I can not write "Hello World".

How can it be done?

The code (in Script Editor):

do shell script "open -a Terminal"

Thanks in advance.

The following example AppleScript code does as you asked:

tell application "Terminal"
    if not (exists window 1) then reopen
    activate
    delay 0.5
    tell application "System Events"
        keystroke "k" using {command down}
        keystroke "Hello World"
    end tell
end tell

Note: Adjust the value of the delay command as appropriate for the timing on your system.

You can also use the following, if you prefer:

do shell script "open -a Terminal"
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "k" using {command down}
    keystroke "Hello World"
end tell
