838
839 Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
840 mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
841 being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
842 being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will
843 automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on,
844 unless some of those are defined mappings themselves.
845
846 Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
847 if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's
848 "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into
849 the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement:
850
851 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
852 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
853
854 The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination
855 of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
856 "Shift-Insert".
