The current task [c] and the first task [1] are always the same aren't
they?  So using '1' for that already works.

Maybe a better solution is to make it work without the prefix?  Go to
the current clocking task and if there is none then go to the last
clocked task (if you can find it) otherwise issue the error we get now:
"org-clock-goto: No active clock"

That way you can just do C-c C-x C-j with no prefix and you are on the
last clocked task (whether it is clocking now or not.)

I don't see how adding RET for the menu which means the same as [1] will
really help.
