Which Atari SW supports that?  Neither EmuTOS
nor real TOS seems to support it, so I could
not have tested it.

Also, I assume that each of the XXX digit keys
must be raised before simulating pressing the next
digit key down, and there probably needs to be
some emulated time to have elapsed between those,
for them to register properly inside emulation.

Implementing something like that (emulation
running between inserting of the ALT-xxx digits)
would be *way* too complex.

PS. except for this last item, the new patches are
ready.  I have not tested them yet, except that
they do build.
