+The key combination that triggers the action, I<sym>, has the following format:
+   (modifiers-)key
+Where I<modifiers> can be any combination of B<ISOLevel3>, B<AppKeypad>,
+B<Control>, B<NumLock>, B<Shift>, B<Meta>, B<Lock>, B<Mod1>, B<Mod2>,

 The B<NumLock>, B<Meta> and B<ISOLevel3> modifiers are usually aliased to
 whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
 keys are being mapped. B<AppKeypad> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
 current application keymap mode state.

 The following text gives values for the standard 88 colour mode (and
 values for the 256 colour mode in parentheses).
 The RGB cube uses indices 16..79 (16..231) using the following formulas:
-   index_88  = (r *  4 + g) *  4 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..3
+   index_88  = (r * 4 + g) * 4 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..3
-   index_256 = (r * 16 + g) * 16 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..15
+   index_256 = (r * 6 + g) * 6 + b + 16   # r, g, b = 0..5
 The grayscale ramp uses indices 80..87 (232..239), from 10% to 90% in 10%
 steps (1/26 to 25/26 in 1/26 steps) - black and white are already part of
