There is a variable `window-system'. I suppose it
reports nil following -nw. Without it, well, here is
what the help says:

    Documentation:
    Name of window system through which the selected frame is displayed.
    The value is a symbol:
     nil for a termcap frame (a character-only terminal),
     'x' for an Emacs frame that is really an X window,
     'w32' for an Emacs frame that is a window on MS-Windows display,
     'ns' for an Emacs frame on a GNUstep or Macintosh Cocoa display,
     'pc' for a direct-write MS-DOS frame.

So perhaps the mode checks that variable and sets up
the keys differently if there is a window system or
not. Note the reference to "Macintosh Cocoa".

So browse the code for that, or `display-graphic-p' as
it apparently is the modern version.
