screenrc help

This is my screenrc. Mostly stolen off of the screenrc thread. I have keybindings to navigate using the F# keys. However, since I also use screenrc to start my htop, it conflicts with the keys in htop

╔═[18:55]═[inxs @ arch]
╚═══===═══[~]>> cat .screenrc 
startup_message off

escape "^  "
bindkey "^[Od" prev # change window with ctrl-left
bindkey "^[Oc" next # change window with ctrl-right

# make life easier, f1-f10 selects screens 0-9 -- conflicts with the keys to control hTop
#bindkey -k k1 select 1
#bindkey -k k2 select 2

╔═[18:58]═[inxs @ arch]
╚═══===═══[~]>>

Is there a way to use the Ctrl+# to navigate on screen tabs? Can someone tell me how?

Aslo if someone could explain the sorendition, altscreen, nonblock and msgwait attributes in screenrc, it would be great.

Re: screenrc help

Maybe ^1?

altscreen becomes obvious when you do e.g. man screen and then quit less, then with `altscreen on` the contents disappear (less was invoked in an altscreen) and with `altscreen off` part of the manual stays on screen. It can be useful off but simulated too with -X for less. It is like .Xdefaults option secondaryScreen.

Added bindkey "^1" to 7 for my  7 tabs. Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Also for some reason, Ctrl + Q doesn't work and I cannot quit rtorrent
