Hi Win,

your hint was very helpful.
Excuse me for the late feedback.

Subject: [OS X Emacs] Keypad mapping
Message-ID: <8AAECE41-4FC3-4593-A4C1-4BD2421C24A0@lrw.com>

I have a bunch of things linked to keypad keys.  (So, kill me.  Long trained fingers.)  At some point, binding to the keypad '=' become impossible:  At a low level, this just comes through a '='.

I don't have a complete history, but as of Aquamacs 1.5, it came through as
<kp-equal>.  As of Aquamacs 3.2, it came through as just '='.  I kept putting off trying to understand exactly why, but it's still the same in Aquamacs 3.4.

There is one other key that's been treated oddly for as long as I can determine:  The keypad 'clear' key at some very low level gets translated to C-l.  This I can live with though it would be nice for it come through as <kp-clear>.

I'm seeing this on Sierra though it doesn't seem to be OS-related.  I'm using an Apple keyboard though other keyboards that have keypads seem to behave the same.

Am I missing something, or is there really a bug here?

Subject: [OS X Emacs] Aquamacs often crashes in the Save As... dialog
Message-ID: <424934B8-48B4-4E00-8EEF-C0966F6B047B@acm.org>

By far the most common cause of crash reports for Aquamacs is a bug in handling input in the Save As? dialog. I think, but I?m not sure, that the problem involves the arrow keys and Emacs movement keys. If you want to edit the filename, the safest thing may be to delete it and try again. Inconvenient, I know. 

I also think this one is fixed in the upcoming 3.6 release, which I hope to have available in a few weeks.

If you?re feeling daring, the fix is in the current nightly build, available through https://aquamacs.org/nightlies.html. Some people have said that things are working better for them if they use it.

Best,

Win
