Thanks for pointing him to the ecb-info manual - because for this sake it has
been written ;-) If something is not explained or not findable or explained
in a bad manner then please report this to the ECB-mailing-list.

If these binding are too "long" for you (i.e. too many keys to press) then
take a look at the option *ecb-mode-line-display-window-number*:

,----
| ecb-mode-line-display-window-number's value is t
| 
| Documentation:
| *Display in the modeline of every special ECB-window the window-number.
| The left-top-most window in a frame has the window-number 0 and all other
| windows are numbered with increasing numbers in the sequence, functions like
| `other-window' or `next-window' would walk through the frame.
| 
| This can be used to jump to windows by number with commands like:
| 
|   (defun my-switch-to-window-number (number)
|     "Switch to the nth window"
|     (interactive "P")
|     (if (integerp number)
|         (select-window (nth number (window-list)))))
| 
| Currently this feature is only available for GNU Emacs 21.X, because neither
| GNU Emacs < 21 nor XEmacs can evaluate dynamically forms in the mode-line.

With this you can switch to any window/buffer of ECB with just one key...
