  With emacs it's easy to run povray with a keyboard shortcut (eg. alt-g
or whatever).

  It's not like you have to type the whole command every time. Shells usually
have a command history.
  Besides, what type of parameters you give to povray which take 120 characters
and which you can't put in your .povrayrc?
  When I have to write the rendering command for the first time (ie. it's
still not in the command history), it's usually something like
povray fil<tab> +sp8
  That's about 16 characters.
