Linux Libreoffice Writer 7.3.0.3 - Alt+W

Is there a way to customize and make it fixed the shortcut character assigned to change between documents after pressing ALT+W?

For example: I have 25 writer documents opened at the same time, always the same ones. I would like to always go to the same document when I press ALT+W AND THEN “1”, OR “2” OR “3”.

ALT+W → 1 → GOES TO DOCUMENT X1.ODT

ALT+W → 2 → GOES TO DOCUMENT X2.ODT

ALT+W → 3 → GOES TO DOCUMENT X3.ODT

For me it would be more intuitive and producent, but depending on the order I open this list of documents, every document is assigned a new character and I have to memorize it again to move faster among the windows with ALT+W → “x”. I don’t know how Writer assigns these characters.

Thank you.

It seems to be a word first/last/other (in this order) character not previously used (note that N and C are reserved for New and Close, and L and W eventually will be reserved for LibreOffice and Writer). If there is a name 10 and other 11, the 0 will be selected first.
So, if your documents are named 0document.odt, 1document.odt, etc., you could switch to each one with Alt+W 0, Alt+W 1, etc. But this work from 0 to 9. You will need to add letters: adocument.odt, bdocument.odt, ddocument.odt, etc.
