Shift was tranferred to the device in an old version (aug 18), then no more

Or is there an option I haven't seen?

Shift was tranferred to the device in an old version

The shift key have never been forwarded directly to the device. Here is the code of v1.0:
https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/blob/v1.0/app/src/inputmanager.c#L164-L167

Using shift makes writing uppercase letters a lot easier

Text is sent as text, not as a combination of key events: https://blog.rom1v.com/2018/03/introducing-scrcpy/#handle-text-input

So, when you press Shift+a, the text A is sent to the device.

If it does not work, what do you observe exactly?

[giogio02]

shift+a = a
CapsLock then a = a
v. 1.3 was fine, instead.

OK, so this is related to #87 (comment).

Since this commit, letters are sent as raw key events (including their modifiers like shift) instead of as text.

However, they include the modifiers, so shift should be taken into account.

What is the keyboard layout on your device and on your computer?

If you apply this patch, build, run, and press shift+a, could you post what is printed in the console, please?

I have Italian kbd on Win10... so I can't rebuild

Does --prefer-text solve your problem?

[rom1v]

Shift is forwarded to the device since v1.15 (d4ca85d).
