Subject: Re: bug#74619: macOS: <ns-show-prefs> displayed as keybinding for
 \\[customize] on emacs -nw
Date: Sun, 8 Dec 2024 10:01:16 +0900

The problem I reported is that
  (substitute-command-keys "\\[customize]")
results in "<ns-show-prefs>".

This is caused by defining global key mapping in term/ns-win.el:
  (define-key global-map [ns-show-prefs] 'customize)
without make-non-key-event call for ns-*.

So, if term/ns-win.el is not loaded and the problem doesn't occur.
That is why I said:

> If term/ns-win.el is not loaded, no need to call make-non-key-event for ns-".
> It is because global-set-key for ns-" is only in term/ns-win.el.

(Sorry. I wrote "global-set-key" by mistake, it was "define-key
global-map" in fact)

* Emacs built with --without-ns doesn't load term/ns-win.el (in this
case, the problem doesn't occur)
* Emacs built with --with-ns does load term/ns-win.el even in -nw process

Therefore, putting make-non-key-event for non-key events ns-* in the
toplevel of term/ns-win.el solve the problem, and I also think
term/ns-win.el is better place as you said "NS specific code should
definitely go to ns-win.el".
