I would like to associate a keyboard binding in Emacs (e.g. C-c a) that automatically starts an ansi-term window with a shell that I have pre-specified in my .emacs file (without prompting anything)

For reference, there are two threads in StackOverflow that address similar problems:

  • Remote ssh connection from within Emacs
  • Emacs: Default binary to run with M-x ansi-term

but it isn’t obvious to me how to combine the ideas in those threads to get an answer to my question.

    (global-set-key (kbd "C-c a") '(lambda () (interactive) (ansi-term "/bin/zsh")))
