Subject: 23.3; MacBook Pro kp- keys don't work in Cocoa build
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 19:27:12 -0400

On a MacBook Pro there doesn't appear to be any way to get Cocoa Emacs
23 (23.2 or 23.3) from http://emacsformacosx.com/ to see
Function-character as a kp-othercharacter event for those keys that have
Function alternates to emulate a keypad. The characters Emacs sees are
in fact the correct Function key variation of the characters -- e.g.,
Function-p is a * -- but they are not kp- versions of the events. Thus,
there is no way to bind, for example, kp-0 to anything. As a workaround
I have told Emacs to treat Function as hyper, which I never use
otherwise, and repeated all my kp- bindings (of which I have many) as
hyper equivalents. Carbon Emacs 22 did see Function-character as kp-
named keys.

Hi, sorry nobody's responded before now. I get the kp- keys when I try
them in Emacs 25. Are you able to confirm whether or not it's working
for you now?

Thanks. I'll close the bug report.
