oh i see!  this is on a laptop, so num lock wasn't on, i was using the
normal number keys at the top of the keyboard.

could shift+1, shift+2, etc, be used?  i realize that this would present
problems for some international keyboard layouts tho.  at least on a
french keyboard, you have to hold down shift to *get* the  numbers at
the top of the keyboard, as opposed to a US keyboard where unshifted you
get 1 and shifted you get !.
