There's several ways you can change between these windows:</p>
<pre>
- ALT-1, ALT-2, ... ALT-0 - Jump directly between windows 1-10
- ALT-q .. ALT-p - Jump directly between windows 11-20
- ESC-1 .. ESC-0 - ALT-keys don't work everywhere, but you can
- use ESC-key instead of ALT.
+ Meta-1, Meta-2, .. Meta-0 - Jump directly between windows 1-10
+ Meta-q .. Meta-p - Jump directly between windows 11-20
/WINDOW &lt;number&gt; - Jump to any window with specified number
Ctrl-P, Ctrl-N - Jump to previous / next window

+<p>Clearly the easiest way is to use Meta-number keys. And what is the Meta
+key? For some terminals, it's the same as ALT. If you have Windows keyboard,
+it's probably the left Windows key. If they don't work directly, you'll need
+to set a few X resources (NOTE: these work with both xterm and rxvt):</p>
+
+<p>With rxvt, you can also specify which key acts as Meta key. So if you
+want to use ALT instead of Windows key for it, use:</p>
<pre>
- XTerm*eightBitInput: false
- XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
+ rxvt*modifier: alt
</pre>
-<p>And how exactly does it happen? For Debian, there's
-/etc/X11/Xresources/xterm file where you can put them and it's read
-automatically when X starts. ~/.Xresources file might also work. If you
-can't get anything else to work, just copy&amp;paste those lines to
-~/.Xresources and directly call "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" in some
-xterm. The resources affect only the new xterms you start, not existing
-ones.</p>

<p>Many windows SSH clients also don't allow usage of ALT. One excellent
client that does allow is putty, you can download it from
