Ghostty on Linux maps <kbd>Alt-1</kbd> .. <kbd>Alt-9</kbd> for switching between tabs by number. To disable this behavior either add the following to ~/.config/ghostty/config:
```
keybind=alt+one=unbind
keybind=alt+two=unbind
keybind=alt+three=unbind
keybind=alt+four=unbind
keybind=alt+five=unbind
keybind=alt+six=unbind
keybind=alt+seven=unbind
keybind=alt+eight=unbind
keybind=alt+nine=unbind
```
(this will disable tab switching by <kbd>Alt-n</kbd>)
