[Pkg-urxvt-maintainers] Bug#839770: keysym syntax can't handle M-C-s

[martin f krafft]

Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 9.22-1+b1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

I used to have

  URxvt.searchable-scrollback:   CM-s

and wanted to replace that with the "new" syntax:

  URxvt.keysym.MC-s:             searchable-scrollback:start

While the former works as expected, the latter does not properly.
Specifically, MC-s does work, but so does M-s by itself. This is of
course highly annoying and also not designed behaviour according to
the manpage:

  "a key mapping will match if at least the specified identifiers
  are being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits
  are being defined."

This means that CM-NumLock-Shift-s will trigger the same as CM-s,
unless that is actually defined.

However, in my case, M-S does not fulfill "at least the specified
identifiers", as Control is missing.

The workaround seems to be to add

  URxvt.keysym.M-s:              builtin:

Note that this is not required in other cases, e.g. CM-Return works
fine (M-Return is not modified).
