1159=item builtin-string:
1160
1161This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1162have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1163difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1164application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1165action for it.
1166
1167An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1168selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1169would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1170terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1171
1172 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1173 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1174
1175The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1176combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1177C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1178
1179Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1180clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1181this:
1182
1183 URxvt.keysym.C-S-c: builtin-string:

1178In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1179the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1180B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
1181character not used by the strings.
1182
1183Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1184
