1133
1134In addition, for actions of this type, you can define a range of
1135keysyms in one shot by loading the C<keysym-list> perl extension and
1136providing an I<action> with pattern B<list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX>, where
1137the delimiter `/' should be a character not used by the strings.
1138
1139Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:
1140
1141 URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61: list|\033<|abc|>
1142
1143The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:
1144
1145 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61: string:\033<a>
1146 URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62: string:\033<b>

1193=item builtin-string:
1194
1195This action is mainly useful to restore string mappings for keys that
1196have predefined actions in @@RXVT_NAME@@. The exact semantics are a bit
1197difficult to explain - basically, this action will send the string to the
1198application that would be sent if @@RXVT_NAME@@ wouldn't have a built-in
1199action for it.
1200
1201An example might make it clearer: @@RXVT_NAME@@ normally pastes the
1202selection when you press C<Shift-Insert>. With the following bindings, it
1203would instead emit the (undocumented, but what applications running in the
1204terminal might expect) sequence C<ESC [ 2 $> instead:
1205
1206 URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin-string:
1207 URxvt.keysym.C-S-Insert: builtin:
1208
1209The first line disables the paste functionality for that key
1210combination, and the second reinstates the default behaviour for
1211C<Control-Shift-Insert>, which would otherwise be overridden.
1212
1213Similarly, to let applications gain access to the C<C-M-c> (copy to
1214clipboard) and C<C-M-v> (paste clipboard) key combination, you can do
1215this:
1216
1217 URxvt.keysym.C-M-c: builtin-string:
