Yes. It works fine for years when there was the `infokey` program. Actually
from within the info session when I press `h' (help) it shows:
1...9 Pick the first...ninth item in this node's menu.
0 Pick the last item in this node's menu.
I also tried starting `info' without `--vi-keys' and it also did not work
and `h' (help) shows the same.

Without `--vi-keys' I still get "Unknown command (1)" when I press `1'.

It worked before. I just found one CentOS 6.6 which has info-4.13a and it
works fine. The `h' (help) also shows:
1...9 Pick the first...ninth item in this node's menu.
0 Pick the last item in this node's menu.
