thanks for walking through all of that with me.  i went back and tested
another mac window manager app, rectangle (https://rectangleapp.com/), and
it turns out with the same key combination that it works with the stock
build of emacs.  so it looks like magnet's method of moving windows, and
not the key combination (thanks to alan for the correction), is the culprit
here.

again thanks for all the help,
eric
