The key for menu-digit under --vi-keys is M-1.

Are you saying that you put "1 menu-digit" in the .infokey file? I tried 
this, but it doesn't do anything: 1 is still used the same way 
as "C-u 1" is when --vi-keys is not given. An error message is also 
given when info starts: "cannot bind key sequence to menu-digit". Do you 
get this?

I guess there could be special support for this to enable 1 ... 9 for 
menu-digit with --vi-keys. Would you consider not using --vi-keys and 
putting custom key bindings in .infokey instead?
