CAPS/SHIFT/ALT etc do not work with recent versions of SMSQE on QPC2
and on Q40/Q60? The combination DOES work with SuperGold Card +
Super Hermes because Super Hermes has its own keyboard routine I
suppose.
Not sure what you're reffering to. Do you mean that with CAPS-LOCK
some keys do not work like when SHIFT is pressed? In that case this is
by design. There is a difference between a CAPS-LOCK and a SHIFT-LOCK,
the first one only altering the capitalisation of characters, and most
keyboard layouts use CAPS-LOCK.

In QPC2, these codes are not returned if you use something like PRINT CODE(INKEY$(-1)) and so programs like Perfection from Digital Precision have problems because they actually use these keycodes 224 to 231.
I wonder if these keypresses are filtered out at keyboard level on a PC, stopping QPC2 from getting at them? In that case, there is probably no way it can be emulated.
AFAIK Perfection was the only program ever to use these keycodes generated by CAPS LOCK and the combinations of SHIFT, ALT and CTRL keys, it might not be worthwhile trying to emulate these keypresses.
