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

1108This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap. 1190This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.
1191
1192In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1193keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1194providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1195the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1196
1197Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1198
1199 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1200
1201The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1202
1203 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1204 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>

1153 1250
1251=item builtin-string:
1252
1253This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1254have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1255difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1256application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1257action for it.
1258
1259An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1260selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1261would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1262terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1263
1264 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:

1266
1267The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1268combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1269C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1270
1271Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1272clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1273this:
1274

1178In addition, you can define a range of keysyms in one shot by loading
1179the C<keysym-list> perl extension and providing a I<string> with pattern
1180B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where the delimiter `/' should be a
