Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'd like to have every item in the "openNewTabDropdown" menu (a dropdown list of shells for a new tab) to have a number that can be used as a very convenient shortcut

In Conemu: when I open a dropdown menu/list of all the shells for a new tab, in Conemu I can use 123 etc. keys to select an item (1 for "Group17", 2 for "wsl", 3 for "Shells")

Conemu

In WT: I can't do that — I either have to use the less convenient shortcuts (e.g. CtrlShift1 for "Windows PowerShell"), which can never be made as convenient as 123, or select with a cursor/mouse

WT

This is very helpful for opening less frequently used shells, for which I don't have to memorize the order/special shortcuts, but instead I can use an open new tab-kind of shortcut and select a number
