577<p>It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file
578descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you

1377<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1378is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code>

1387<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1388will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1389no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1390means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1392mappings themselves.</p>
1393</dd>
1394<dd>
1395<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1396if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
