Thanks Anne, it works in kword, but nowhere else unfortunately. That is rather 
strange - you'd think that it would be something implemented by the desktop 
environment and not a single app. I'll propose implementing it throughout KDE 
in KDE bugzilla - as far as I can tell the <alt> 'number' combination is not 
needed for anything else.
