I am not sure about that, I tried Gnome3, Xfce4, Lxde and IceWm, which
seem to behave slightly differently. In Icewm neither <Alt-1> nor
<Alt-KeyPress-1> work unless I remove the binding from the Icewm
configuration. If I do so only the latter works.
In Gnome3 and Xfce <Alt-1> does not work but <Alt-KeyPress-1> does,
whereas <Alt-9> works. So at least this shows that you cannot rely on
<Alt-KeyPress-1> and friends to work.

Best regards

Michael
