[OS X Emacs] How to successfully pass MacOS shortcuts out of aquamacs

[Nathaniel Cunningham]

Sandy,
Good find! The mysterious thing is that the Aquamacs menu in the menubar
shows Cmd-Opt-H as the shortcut for Hide Others, but the application
doesn't respect that designation!

You can add the following to your Preferences.el (or .emacs or whatever)
file to get what you're after:
(define-key osx-key-mode-map [(\A \M h)] 'ns-do-hide-others)

... but really we should fix Aquamacs to handle Cmd-Opt-h in a way
mirroring how Cmd-h is already handled, with this keymapping defined in
osxkeys.el within Aquamacs.
