1386<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1387will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1388no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1389means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1394<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
