Shortcut "alt-1" "alt-2" "alt-3" should change active tab.
Shortcut to switch tab really improve productivity and those keys are defaulted in Linux terminal.

Adding keybindings to go to a specific tab sounds like a swell idea.

And we'll make them re-mappable, so if you don't like the defaults, you're free to change them!

This strongly depends upon which terminal app you're using.

What about Ctrl + Tab like cmder to switch between open tabs?

ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab is already there to iterate tabs. I need a better shortcut to activate a specific tab.

We're mildly concerned about stealing more keys away before remapping is complete, but #537 should make this a non-issue when it's done.

This makes a bell noise everytime I switch to a tab via alt+1, alt+2 etc.
