1422<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1423will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1424no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1425means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide
1426definitions for <code>Meta-a</code>, <code>Shift-a</code> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1427mappings themselves.</p>
1428</dd>
1429<dd>
1430<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1431if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1432<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1433user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>

1441<p>The first line defines a mapping for <code>Insert</code> and <em>any</em> combination
