I think you can do something here like
<method event="onkeydown" reference="LzKeys" args="key">
if (isKeyDown("capslock") || (isKeyDown("shift")) {
// treat letters as capital letters
} else {
// letters are lower case
}
...
There might be a bug in here; we've had trouble recently with
modifier keys.
See http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-1830, Shift and control
keys stick on key-combo when app is swf8.
However, I suggest using an inputtext or edittext, instead of just a
view. That way the runtime handles turning keycodes into usable
character data.
