You can use `ansi-term' command to open terminal with different programs: ansi-term is an autoloaded interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘term.el’. (ansi-term PROGRAM &optional NEW-BUFFER-NAME) Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 28.1. Start a terminal-emulator in a new buffer. This is almost the same as ‘term’ apart from always creating a new buffer, and ‘C-x’ being marked as a ‘term-escape-char’. This below would open 2 different terminals with different shells: (ansi-term "/bin/bash") (ansi-term "/bin/zsh") You can then use argument to invoke new program in new term. (defun run-with-term () (interactive) "Runs new command with term" (let ((my-programs '("/bin/bash" "/usr/bin/mc"))) (ansi-term (completing-read "Program to run: " my-programs nil nil)))) -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns Sign an open letter in support of Richard M.
