1324<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1325will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1326no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1327means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1332<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1333if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
