I want to get [kp-7] instead of [home] or "7" (depending on > NumLock)? I get the same results with GUI emacs from "runemacs.exe" or > "emacs -q" and console mode "emacs -q -nw" in a dos box. > There is a difference in "describe-key" between NTemacs and unix. On unix, describe-key on keypad 4 reports "kp-4", as does "view-lossage". NTemacs describe-key reports "4" if numlock is on and "left" if numlock is off. Running "view-lossage" on NTemacs shows the first as "kp-4" and the second as "kp-left". Not sure if this is a bug or just a difference. If it's not a bug it would be nice to mention it somewhere in the FAQ.
