Personally, since I rarely (if ever) have more than four sub-windows, with one vertical and one horizontal split, either in Vim or in GNU/screen, I always (and only) use <C-A> ¹ + <h,j,k,l> to move quickly between regions. Maybe this does not sound quite as effective (at least in theory, see note below) as jumping directly to a given sub-window, but I find that since the keyboard actions are almost identical in both Vim and screen, I am able to navigate between sub-windows with no overhead. Here's what I added to my .screenrc: bind j focus down bind k focus up bind h focus top bind l focus bottom bind o only Not exactly what you were asking, but this "solution" meets my requirements of having (somewhat) consistent keyboard actions across the environments that I use on a regular basis. CJ ¹ white lie: I really use <CTRL + spacebar> as my command key combo, actioning CapsLk (remapped to Control) with my left pinkie and the spacebar with my right thumb, so that I don't even have to move my fingers off the home row. Even when I have to to a "<C-SB> + J" followed by a "<C-SB> + L" to move diagonally, I still find it less of a hassle than having to *think* of the correct digit/number *and* reach for the corresponding key in the top row of the keyboard.
