1123 1147
1148In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1149keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1150providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1151the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1152
1153Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1154
1155 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1157The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1504number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1505colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
150624-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1507the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1508use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1509scenarios.
