1175In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1176keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1177providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1178the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1179
1180Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1181
1182 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>

1184The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:

1395Apply gaussian blur with the specified radius to the transparent
1396background. If a single number is specified, the vertical and
1397horizontal radii are considered to be the same. Setting one of the
1398radii to 1 and the other to a large number creates interesting effects
1399on some backgrounds. The maximum radius value is 128. An horizontal or
1400vertical radius of 0 disables blurring.

1530C< ESC [ 38 ; 2 ; R ; G ; Bm > / C< ESC [ 48 ; 2; R ; G ; Bm >. However the
1531number of 24-bit colours that can be used is limited: an internal 7x7x5 (256
1532colour mode) or 6x6x4 (88 colour mode) colour cube is used to index into the
153324-bit colour space. When indexing collisions happen, the nearest old colour in
1534the cube will be adapted to the new 24-bit RGB colour. That means one cannot
1535use many similar 24-bit colours. It's typically not a problem in common
1536scenarios.
