To be more specific, I find the following code snippet from
<https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2785950/more-than-one-emacs-terminal>:
;Here's a super lightweight little function that you can call to
automatically rename the term you're on, and then start a new term:
(defun new-ansi-term ()
(interactive)
(if (string= "*ansi-term*" (buffer-name))
(rename-uniquely))
(ansi-term "/bin/bash"))
;Then to bind that within ansi-term, I found this works:
(defvar ansi-term-after-hook nil)
(add-hook 'ansi-term-after-hook
'(lambda ()
(define-key term-raw-map (kbd "C-t") 'new-ansi-term)))
(defadvice ansi-term (after ansi-term-after-advice (org))
(run-hooks 'ansi-term-after-hook))
(ad-activate 'ansi-term)
The above code can open multiple new terminals, but they are located
in different windows, and I don't know how to adjust it to let all
terminals opened using a tiling layout.
Regards
