Mhhh, this does not work for me.
,----[ (info "(eintr)Note for Novices") ]
| In addition to typing a lone keychord, you can prefix what you type
| with `C-u', which is called the `universal argument'. The `C-u'
| keychord passes an argument to the subsequent command. [...]

| the command or otherwise runs the command differently than it would
| otherwise.)
`----
So, afaics C-u = Value of 4.
Some googling seems to suggest that an argument of '(4) works,
and it does for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun ab-org-clock-in-select ()
(interactive)
(org-clock-in '(4)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
or even shorter with a lambda
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-g") (lambda () (interactive) (org-clock-in '(4))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
works here!
However, this faq [ (info "(efaq)Replying to the sender of a message") ]
seems to suggest that your version is the way to go.
...
I am confused.
However, this is org OT, so I'll finish my musings here :)
Go with whatever works for you.
