Why not define a function to do what you want, then bind it to a keystroke?
I have stuff like
(defun open-personal()
(interactive) (progn(find-file "~/org/personal/personal.org")(end-of-buffer)))
and then with
(bind-key (kbd "H-M-p") 'open-personal)
I can open my file and go where I want to with a keypress.
