990Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
991will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
992no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
993means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
994definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
995mappings themselves.
996
997Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
998if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
999C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1000user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1001
1002 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1003 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1004
1005The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination
1006of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for
1007C<Shift-Insert>.
