$ Open -n -a Emacs --args -Q
Clover-Alt-H fails to perform ns-do-hide-others
which does work from the menu Emacs > Hide Others

The MacOSX Emacs menu says: 	But the keymap says:
	About Emacs
	Preferences...	 ⌘, 	s-, runs the command customize
	Services      	 ►
	Hide Emacs    	 ⌘H 	s-h runs the command ns-do-hide-emacs
	Hide Others   	⌥⌘H 	M-s-˙ is undefined
	Quit Emacs    	 ⌘Q 	s-q runs the command save-buffers-kill-emacs

What the menu promises should work
and these particular bindings are mandatory for all MacOSX apps.

To fix this and related infelicities, patch lisp/term/ns-win.el

P.S. The MacOSX Emacs Edit menu fails to show some mandatory keys:

The MacOSX Edit menu says:	  	But should say:
        Undo (C-x u)      	  	Undo (C-x u)    	 ⌘Z
        Cut               	  	Cut             	 ⌘X

        Spell             	 ►	Spell           	 ►
        Text Properties   	 ►	Text Properties 	 ►

These keys all work as required but only ⌘C appears on the menu.
Sorry, I have no patch for this.

P.P.S. In case your (hopefully fixed-width) font lacks these characters:

Hi Devon, I believe you already submitted a patch for clover‐alt‐H a
while back, and it was committed. I think you must be running a
slightly out of date build.

I’m unsure about some of the changes you’re making in this patch. Are
you rearranging some of the lines? I think that’s generally frowned
upon as it makes tracking changes harder.

If you could redo your changes against a more up to date copy of
ns-win.el, I’ll be happy to commit it.

I’m not sure how to fix this either. I’ll have to have a dig around.

This was two years ago, and there was no response to this, so it seems
unlikely that we'll make further progress on this bug report, and I'm
closing it.  If the problem still exists, please respond to this email
and we'll reopen the bug report.
