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.

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.

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!

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.
