Type C-h k kp-insert C-h k insert.
Notice in the *Help* window it says
"insert runs the command overwrite-mode"
for both of them when it should say
"kp-insert runs the command overwrite-mode"
for the first one.
This also affects describe-key-briefly and the prompt of
global-set-key, but not view-lossage.
OK, if view-lossage can differentiate two different keys, why can't
the rest of emacs? [the key labeled "insert" and the key on the
numeric keypad labeled "0 ins".]
Uh oh, looks like I'm not grasping some basic reality here. I looked
in the C-h F FAQ but it was talking about emacs 19...
Wait, in /usr/share/emacs/20.7/lisp/term/README there's some kind of
warning. All I wanted to do was to bind other-window to keypad 5...
I even used term-setup-hook ... never mind. I suppose the f1..f12
keys are easier to colonize.
