Some time ago I was searching for a legendary irssi script that would allow me to use commands like /1, /2, etc. to switch to the respective window numbers without having to type the complete /window command. Although I didn't succeed in my search, one of the freenode staffers gave me a little command to populate the command aliases list with some adequate (99) entries.

That's very nice except that the config file becomes a bit larger.

I was bored last night so I decided to reinvent the wheel and write such a script that doesn't require any client configuration changes to bind the same aliases automagically on startup. I am pretty sure it already existed, but since I couldn't find it...

The installation procedure is the same as with any other irssi scripts.
