Irssi key overlap

Ion's workspace switching keys Alt+n (n=1,2,...) overlap Irssi's channel switching keys. How can I fix this?

  1. Alt+key (Meta+key, actually) in terminals sends Esc followed by key, so simply use this sequence to switch channels in irssi.
  2. Change the META setting in cfg_ion.lua (Ion3) or ion-bindings.lua (Ion2) to have Ion use some other key as modifier. See Substituting for the Alt key, and the configuration manual for details.
