[Solved] jwm and desktop switching by Ctrl+Alt+N

How to make jwm to switch desktops by pressing Ctrl+Alt+N where N is desktop number (1,2..6) ?

Documentation says that should be used "desktop#" : "Key to switch to a specific desktop. To use this, # must be specified in the key section. Then numbers from 1 to the number of desktops configured are substituted for #." but there is no an example of key section with #.

Can anyone give complete example of using Ctrl+Alt+N ?

I think you would just replace "key" with "#" like so:

  <Key mask="mask" key="#">action</Key>

Have you tried this?

<Key mask="CA" key="#">desktop#</Key>

this does exactly what I want.
