The Carbon menu item could be set by glyph (SetMenuItemKeyGlyph) or by key code (SetMenuItemCommandKey), which sure were handy. The key equiv would clearly show numpad glyphs with a rounded rect around them. In Cocoa, how does one make it clear that one menu item's key equiv is regular "1" and another menu item's key equiv is "numpad 1"?
I don't know if this works, but you might try [menuItem setKeyEquivalentModifierMask:NSNumericPadKeyMask]. That said, I'm not sure that users will understand the distinction between 1 and numpad 1, even with a rounded rect border. Also, compact keyboard don't have separate numeric keypads.
