Probably. The catch is that there are two different ways for terminal
emulators to send Meta keys (which is what Alt is generally mapped as).
One approach involves setting the high bit of the incoming character; I
don't know how to get screen to work with that.
On the other hand, you can configure many emulators to translate, say
'M-1' to 'ESC 1'. To do this in xterm, you have to add the following
lines to your ~/.Xresources file:
XTerm*eightBitInput: false
XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
The rest is just some simple work with bindkey. In your .screenrc:
bindkey "^[1" select 1
bindkey "^[2" select 2
bindkey "^[3" select 3
and so on.
