1009Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1010will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1011no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1012means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1013definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1014mappings themselves.
1015
1016Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1017if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1018C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1019user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1020
1021 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1022 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1023
1024The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1025of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1026C<Shift-Insert>.
