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
1209keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1210providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1211the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1212
1213Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
