yes, M-<digit> works but I use that already to select windows with
`window-numbering'

which is very convenient.

I always thought that the M- bindings are more problematic than the C-
bindings on a console (in fact they are sometimes presented as
alternatives for not working M- bindings iirc), so I'm a bit surprised.
