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

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.
