1124
1125In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1126keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1127providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1128the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1129
1130Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1131
1132 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1133
1134The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1135
1136 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1137 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>

1184=item builtin-string:
1185
1186This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1187have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1188difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1189application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1190action for it.
1191
1192An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1193selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1194would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1195terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1196
1197 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1198 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1199
1200The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1201combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1202C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1203
1204Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1205clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1206this:
1207
1208 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
1209 URxvt.keysym.C-M-v: builtin-string:
