1123
1124In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1125keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1126providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1127the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1128
1129Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1130
1131 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1132
1133The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1134
1135 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1136 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>

1183=item builtin-string:
1184
1185This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1186have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1187difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1188application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1189action for it.
1190
1191An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1192selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1193would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1194terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1195
1196 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1197 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1198
1199The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1200combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1201C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1202
1203Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1204clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1205this:
1206
1207 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1208 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
