This is from jao [1]:

;;;; window navegation
(defun jao-first-window ()
  (interactive)
  (select-window (frame-first-window)))

(defmacro jao-nth-window (n)
  `'(lambda ()
     (interactive)
     (jao-first-window)
     (other-window ,n)))

and then he defines some keys:

    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c1") 'jao-first-window)
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c2") (jao-nth-window 1))
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c3") (jao-nth-window 2))
    (global-set-key (kbd "\C-c4") (jao-nth-window 3))

does that help you?
