In version 2.2.3.5, it seems like the shiftup/down commands are not working properly/are being ignored. I recently upgraded from a fairly old version (1.8, I think) to the latest version and noticed the changed behavior. To be clear, I did enable "chars:" and "shiftup:" and "shiftdown:" commands.
To Reproduce
Just using the documentation as an example, to type the string "Test!" by sending these commands:
shiftdown:shift
t
shiftup:shift
e
s
t
shiftdown:shift
1
The output I get is "test1". (see attached screenshot) I've also experimented with other combinations with similar results. shiftdown:alt and shiftup:alt do seem like they may behave correctly at least some of the time. For example, when notepad was in the foreground, this sequence brought up the file menu as expected:
The other shiftup/down commands I tried seemed to have no effect (that is, shift, ctrl, and lwin).

I'm trying to interface from Home Remote, but the above testing was done via PuTTY, with no difference in behavior.
Happy to provide any other info that might be useful in tracking this down.
Thanks!
