Hi
I have a streamdeck which I use sometimes to "type" some text to a vm console but there's a problem:
ALL key combinations with Shift key do not register the Shift key presses so the wrong characters are typed. (See image)
I have just tested also on a noVNC console 1.3.0 on a ondemand installation and there it works.
There's another difference between the two.
- on 1.3.0 the text appears very fast and correct
- on 1.4.0-4 the text appears much slower, typed slower like.
Any ideea what's going on?
I use also an InputStick and an XKeys keyboard. These 2 work fine with both when in hardware mode.
xKeys has also a software mode through MacroWorks and that's another case that doesn't work properly to type text.

Is this a configuration related issue? (qemu-novnc) or is a bug in novnc that reappeared? (https://github.com/novnc/noVNC/issues/856)?
Last image is difference of the same text typed on 1.3.0 (left) and 1.4.0-4 (right)
