alt-1, alt-2, alt-3 and so on, for quick switching to specific tabs, or
ctrl-pageup, ctrl-pagedown for cycling.

That's... well, I would call it a horrific idea. There are better ways of
doing these kinds of admin tasks than having crackrock features in your
terminal emulator (expect, cfengine, and so on).

There was a slashdot troll about some dude who wrote a curses version of
expose (the panther direct-manipulation window switching method) for working
on multiple machines at the same time. Great pisstake value, although, now
I'm scared that it was only funny due to the element of truth...
