Re: Making `escape Ctrl-n` switch to window n

[Dun Peal]

David, you seem to be referring to the GNU Screen `bind` and `bindkey`
commands, which I don't think can help in this case, seeing how this
binding is not done by GNU Screen.

I suspect Brian may be right, and this behavior is controlled by my
terminal, which is xfce4-terminal version 0.8.7.3

It seems that other terminal emulators, including xterm and urxvt,
have the same or similar sets of default bindings, e.g. Ctrl-3 to ^[
and Ctrl-4 to \^
