Weird.  I use KDE's konsole and tcsh, and sure enough CTRL-4 does it for me, 
too.  (May have always done this; CTRL-number has never crossed my mind in 
all my 22 years of using computers.)

What's odd is that I explicitly set Quit to ^\ in my stty settings.
And indeed, ^\ functions quite correctly as a quit.

Beats me.
