It's not even complicated with emacs (at least in linux).  If I have a shell window
running tcsh and an emacs window, I do:

in emacs window: cntl-S
in shell window (to repeat my last render command): !pov enter  (!p if I've not issued
any other p... commands)
    or "cntl-p" until I reach the last pov command, then enter

Lightning fast.  Well under one second.

The shell can be within an emacs window, if I prefer (which I don't).

That's it.  It's not worth worrying about shortcuts.
