In IRSSI, I've always been able to use alt3 or alt5 to jump directly to specific windows. That seems to have stopped working. I think it probably happened with the update to 15.04, but I can't swear to that.
I can still use alt-> or ctrln to cycle through windows but I don't see a way to hop right to the window I want anymore. So ... how do I get that functionality back? Or is there a new way I can hop straight to a specific window in irssi?
Finally worked this out. The alt+number conflicts with gnome-terminal's keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs. That was always the case, but in older versions of gnome-terminal the combo would switch tabs if there were tabs to switch to and switch IRSSI windows if there weren't.
If you disable or re-map the "Switch to Tab ..." shortcuts (at Terminal > Preferences > Shortcuts) you can use alt2 in IRSSI again.
Double-click on the shortcut key and you'll see "New accelerator..." -- from there Backspace will disable the shortcut, or you can create a new shortcut. I used ctrlalt2.
You can also use the commands
/1
,/2
, .../N
, which is what I like to do.Click on
Terminal
icon >Preferences
>Shortcuts
Then, uncheck
Enable Shortcuts
Alt + 1 for example will work now. The problem for the terminal window is that the alt keys are mapped to switching to the terminal tabs (if you use those).
