1326<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1327will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1328no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1329means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1334<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1335if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
