Clearly the easiest way is to use ALT-number keys. Some terminals -just don't allow it, with xterm and rxvt you should be able to fix it -with changing X resources:

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):

+ +

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:

-     XTerm*eightBitInput:   false
-     XTerm*metaSendsEscape: true
+     rxvt*modifier: alt

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&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.

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