Yes, if I release the key under e.g. 500 Milliseconds, it would be the lower case letter, if I hold it 500 ms and more, it would return a Upper case (shifted) letter. So it would need a »timer« to count from pressed key to released. if >500 ms, it should send an ASCI
example uppercase A = DECIMAL code 65 lowercase a = DECIMAL code 97 Difference between lowercase and uppercase is 32 subtract 32 from the Ascii Letter Code and you get the Uppercase (= shift) Version.
