1043is passed to the C<on_keyboard_command> perl handler. See the @@RXVT_NAME@@perl(3)

1049Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key mapping
1050will match if at I<at least> the specified identifiers are being set, and
1051no other key mappings with those and more bits are being defined. That
1052means that defining a key map for C<a> will automatically provide
1053definitions for C<Meta-a>, C<Shift-a> and so on, unless some of those are defined
1054mappings themselves.
1055
1056Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example
1057if you overwrite the C<Insert> key you will disable @@RXVT_NAME@@'s
1058C<Shift-Insert> mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into the
1059user-defined keymap using the C<builtin:> replacement:
1060
1061 URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence>
1062 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin:
1063
1064The first line defines a mapping for C<Insert> and I<any> combination

1087
1088Extension names can be prefixed with a C<-> sign to prohibit using
1089them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions loaded
1090by default, or specified via the C<perl-ext-common> resource. For
1091example, C<default,-selection> will use all the default extension except
1092C<selection>.
1093
1094Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle brackets
1095(e.g. C<< searchable-scrollback<M-s> >>, which binds the hotkey for
1096searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same extension
1097multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple arguments to
1098the extension.
1099
1100Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
1101necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.

1103If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
1104interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is that
