413Compile frills: Disable (or enable) emitting bracketed paste mode
414sequences (default enabled). Bracketed paste mode allows programs
415to detect when something is pasted. Since more and more programs
416abuse this, these sequences can be disabled. The command sequences to
417enable and query paste mode will still work, but the actual bracket
418sequences will no longer be emitted. You can also toggle this from the

1297
1298To prohibit autoloading of extensions, you can prefix them with C</>,
1299which will make urxvt refuse to automatically load them (this can be
1300overriden, however, by specifying the extension name again without a
1301prefix, though). This does not prohibit extensions themselves loading
1302other extensions. For example, C<default,/background> will keep the
1303C<background> extension from being loaded when a background OSC sequence
1304is received.
