419sequences (default enabled). Bracketed paste mode allows programs
420to detect when something is pasted. Since more and more programs
421abuse this, these sequences can be disabled. The command sequences to
422enable and query paste mode will still work, but the actual bracket
423sequences will no longer be emitted. You can also toggle this from the

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

1210providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1211the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.

1267=item builtin-string:
1268
1269This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1270have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1271difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1272application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1273action for it.
1274
1275An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1276selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1277would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1278terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1279
1280 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1281 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1282
1283The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1284combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1285C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1286
1287Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1288clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1289this:
1290
1291 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:

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
