Subject: 24.3; <C-kp-1> and <M-kp-1> undefined
Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 12:42:06 +0200

From emacs -Q, if I press control and the key 1 on the keypad, I see
"<C-kp-1> is undefined" in the echo area. I expected that to start an
digit-argument, just as hitting C-1 does.

Same thing is true with Meta instead of Control.

Why I use the keypad : on my belgian/french azerty keyboards, I need to
hold shift in order to produce numbers from the second line of the
keyboard ; I usually prefer to move my hand to the keypad.

The following snippet helped me solve this problem :
(dotimes (i 10)				; for all keys
  (dolist (prefix (list "M" "C"))	; for both modifiers
    (global-set-key
     (read (format "[%s-kp-%s]" prefix i))
     'digit-argument)
    (put 
     (read (format "%s-kp-%s" prefix i))
     'ascii-character
     (+ ?0 i))))

(Binding [C-kp-1] to 'digit-argument isn't enough and produces an error.
The property ascii-character is looked up by digit-argument.)

Unfortunately the above code won't make M-kp-1 work in my terminal
session, but I guess that's not an emacs problem.

Here's a cleaner snippet to achieve the same behaviour, now using
function-key-map :

(dotimes (i 10)
  (dolist (prefix (list "M" "C"))
    (define-key function-key-map
      (kbd (format "<%s-kp-%s>" prefix i))
      (kbd (format "%s-%d" prefix i)))))

Below is a patch to achieve this from simple.el.

Do you think the patch from
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/153656/focus=153681
will fix your issue?

As I recall the problem was where to define the function `powerset'
used to create all combinations of modifiers C-, M-, S-, etc.

Now that we have `todo-powerset' in lisp/calendar/todo-mode.el
we could use it in lisp/bindings.el.

Sorry I hadn't seen that discussion before. 

Indeed, it would fix the issue ; but from what I gather, the suggestion
was dismissed because it makes function-key-map too big (and so does my
suggestion).

Adding "functional keymap" support as suggested in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/153726 seems beyond my
ability.

Neither functional keymaps nor keymaps with pattern matching
are quick to implement, at least not until the feature freeze,
so it would be better now just to add all combinations
using `todo-powerset' to completely support keypad keys
in the next release.

The current code is following, but maybe `todo-powerset' should be moved
to bindings.el or other appropriate place like cl-seq.el.

(let ((modifiers (todo-powerset '(control meta shift super hyper)))
      (keys '((kp-end . end) (kp-down . down) (kp-next . next)
	      (kp-left . left) (kp-begin . begin) (kp-right . right)
	      (kp-home . home) (kp-up . up) (kp-prior . prior)
	      (kp-insert . insert) (kp-delete . delete) (kp-enter . enter)
	      (kp-add . +) (kp-subtract . -) (kp-multiply . *) (kp-divide . /)
	      (kp-1 . ?1) (kp-2 . ?2) (kp-3 . ?3) (kp-4 . ?4) (kp-5 . ?5)
	      (kp-6 . ?6) (kp-7 . ?7) (kp-8 . ?8) (kp-9 . ?9) (kp-0 . ?0)
	      (kp-decimal . .))))
  (dolist (pair keys)
    (dolist (mod modifiers)
      (define-key function-key-map
	(vector (append mod (list (car pair))))
	(vector (append mod (list (cdr pair))))))))

To reduce the total number of entries in the map I installed
the mapping only with basic modifiers control, meta and shift
and without using a powerset function.

Thanks.

Just a thought : your patch puts, in bindings.el, some function-key-map
bindings which were already defined in simple.el ; see the section
;;;; Keypad support.
in simple.el.

Now I removed duplicate bindings from simple.el, except kp-enter.
simple.el binds kp-enter to ?\r, and bindings.el binds it to `enter'.
Loadup loads simple.el later after bindings.el, so keybindings in
simple.el override the keybindings in bindings.el. Thus we could
leave it as is, allowing simple.el to override kp-enter with ?\r.
