1425<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form <code>perl:STRING</code>, then the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
1426is passed to the <code>on_keyboard_command</code> perl handler. See the <code>rxvtperl(3)</code>
1427manpage. For example, the <em>selection</em> extension (activated via

1435<p>Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1436will match if at <em>at least</em> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1437no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1438means that defining a key map for <code>a</code> will automatically provide

1440mappings themselves.</p>
1441</dd>
1442<dd>
1443<p>Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1444if you overwrite the <code>Insert</code> key you will disable rxvt's
1445<code>Shift-Insert</code> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke ``holes'' into the
1446user-defined keymap using the <code>builtin:</code> replacement:</p>

1761(recommended, but <strong>MUST</strong> have 4 digits/component) colour specifications,
