That circle would indicate that the numeric key pad modifier is down  
-- the Mac keyboard has no such thing, but sends the modifier with  
(some) of the numeric key pad keys (and the movement keys), and I try  
to circle these.

Is there a toggle on your USB keyboard? if so, the problem is likely  
just then, that the toggle is pressed.

Actually I do handle this better in recent builds [1], by ignoring  
the modifier when the pressed key has it, but not when the required  
key has it. I.e. setting an action to num pad 1 will only work for  
the num pad 1 key, but setting it to 1 will work with both the 1 key  
and the num pad 1 key.

If you do have the toggle on yuor keyboard, I'd like to know if it  
does work better for recent builds (which you can downlaod w/o  
needing to do anything fancy besides replacing TextMate.app).
