How to change shortcuts in tabbed urxvt?

Hi,

I decided to give urxvt last one chance. Just please tell me how to set my own shortcuts:
- alt-1 for first tab
- alt-2 for second
- alt-3 for third
...
and so the story goes.

Cheers

Re: How to change shortcuts in tabbed urxvt?

I once did this. My understanding is that the default shortcuts are hardcoded and you
have to hack the source to change it. Look at file

src/perl/tabbed

in the distribution or

/usr/lib/urxvt/perl/tabbed

after you install urxvt and seek for function

tab_key_press

modify it to fit your needs.

Another way is to use GNU screen, let it
manage the tabs, and define a bunch of keysyms to manipulate them.
