I'm trying to type Hello in russian Привет, but I'm getting привет.

Shift+п doesn't work.

Turns out that a-z chars a mapped to keyboard shortcuts and processed differently in shiftSeq: but others handled with insertText: and get lowercased there.

Well, it is actually like this "by design" and can be disabled.

This is due to the workaround with CAPS as control. Within iOS you can use CAPS as a modifier, but it still triggers the "caps lock" behavior. So to avoid that, the shiftSeq and insertText have that into account and make sure all keys are printed as lowercase when it happens. It is a workaround that works. But unfortunately, only applied with a very simple charger.

It could be fixed by using a "wider" charset, but it might be never ending and performance suffer a lot due to the way the keyboard shortcuts work in iOS. You can disable CAPS as Ctrl, and probably at some point this will be fixed on iOS when they enforce the "Enable Caps Lock" setting on HW keyboards.

Let me know what you think.
