@zds: Making it a profile-level setting could lead to another pretty
annoying misleading behavior, e.g. you have two tabs, Alt+2 switches
from the 1st to the 2nd, but then Alt+1 doesn't switch back. There's a
good reason hotkeys are global, not per-profile.

@laney: I wasn't the one pushing for this change, apparently the main
developer doesn't show any interest in changing this. I have no idea
what could be done to improve the situation, and whether it needs
improvement at all. The issue has been discussed on several forums by
now, I believe everyone who uses IRC is power user enough that they can
type this question into whichever search engine and find the answer.
Software keep changing by little bits like this one over time and you
need to get used to minor changes quite often. I don't see this one
being a bigger deal than the average UI change. Am I missing something?

Title:
  Left Alt + <num> is not passed to irssi in terminal when in GUI

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Running Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) last updated
  2015-03-12 14:45

  1) Log onto system in graphical mode.
  2) Start a terminal, for me gnome-terminal.
  3) Start irssi.
  4) Make several windows in irssi.
  5) Try to use left Alt + window number to change window.

  Expected to be able to change between windows, outcome is that no
  action is performed.

  This has worked fine through all previous Ubuntu releases.

  It also works fine if I change to text console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and
  do the same steps.

  Any pointers in how to debug this further?
