983Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
984will match if at \fIat least\fR the specified identifiers are being set, and
985no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
986means that defining a key map for \f(CW\*(C`a\*(C'\fR will automatically provide
987definitions for \f(CW\*(C`Meta\-a\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`Shift\-a\*(C'\fR and so on, unless some of those are defined
