This is the .screenrc I currently use for GNU Screen.
With it you can change windows by using the Function Keys on your keyboard (F1, F2 and so on).
To use it, just place the file in your $HOME and you're set. If you already have a $HOME/.screenrc, make a backup first just in case.
The screenshot differs from the .screenrc by the way.
#
# This is an example for the global screenrc file.
# You may want to install this file as /etc/screenrc.
# Check config.h for the exact location.
#
# Flaws of termcap and standard settings are done here.
#
#startup_message off
#defflow on # will force screen to process ^S/^Q
deflogin on
#autodetach off
#vbell on
#vbell_msg " Wuff ---- Wuff!! "
# all termcap entries are now duplicated as terminfo entries.
# only difference should be the slightly modified syntax, and check for
# terminfo entries, that are already corected in the database.
#
# G0 we have a SEMI-GRAPHICS-CHARACTER-MODE
# WS this sequence resizes our window.
# cs this sequence changes the scrollregion
# hs@ we have no hardware statusline. screen will only believe that
# there is a hardware status line if hs,ts,fs,ds are all set.
# ts to statusline
# fs from statusline
# ds delete statusline
# al add one line
# AL add multiple lines
# dl delete one line
# DL delete multiple lines
# ic insert one char (space)
# IC insert multiple chars
# nx terminal uses xon/xoff
