irssi

I have been messing with TMUX, and I am liking the configuration abilities.

The window list at the bottom makes me think that the same shortcut for changing windows in Irssi, should work in TMUX, but it doesn't.

So at the moment, I have to press C-b then a number to get that window open. I am happy having C-b for my normal prefix, (eg for C-b ? for help, C-b : command entry) But it would be cool if I could use both C-b+Numkey and Alt+NumKey for changing tabs.

It would be even cooler if it could detect if a window is showing Irssi, and then ignore the Alt+NumKey, so that I can still change between Irssi windows.
