1148In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1149keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1150providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1151the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1152
1153Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
