There is an option (actually I didn't know of this option before you
asked ;) that will probably do what you want without you having to touch
the code:

document.browse.links.number_keys_select_link <num> (default: 1)
       Number keys select links rather than specify command prefixes. This is a tristate:

       · 0: means never
       · 1: means if document.browse.links.numbering = 1
       · 2: means always

[ You probably have to play a little with it, since I think there is a
  bug in how this option is handled. Setting it to 0 should do what you
  want, although, as I read the text, it should've really been 2!? ;) ]
