		1199	If the I<action> starts with C<string:> (or otherwise contains no colons),

		1202	string C<echo rm -rf /> followed by a newline:
		1203
		1204	URxvt.keysym.Shift-Tab: string:echo rm -rf /\n

		1206	This could in theory be used to completely redefine your keymap.

		1208	In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
