Description
How to reproduce
vim -u NONE
:map <D-e> :
Now press command-e.
Nothing happens, except the "Edit" Mac menu flashes as it's activated.
There's now no way to map command-e in MacVim. This used to work.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the problem with vim -u NONE and :map <D-e> :. Inspect MacVim's handling of Command-key mappings and menu activation; done means Command-E triggers the mapping instead of flashing the Edit menu.
