Primo 1.1 virtual keyboard SHIFT function

Hey
I'm using primo 1.1 v8.5.11.154123
All seems OK, except that ALL virtual keyboards do not have the SHIFT option as it used to be in 8.3.2
ALT is ok but non of the kb with defined shift is presented.
are you familiar with this bug and is there a fix ?
thanks a lot

As far as I know, the shift key is only for capital letters. Whenever I type a name into my keyboard all the letters show in caps. Do you know of other things that shift can do?

hey chas521
yes. I want to use it for caps, see code, but it is not showing.
I can only see the base and alt keys
same code in 8.3.2 works great !
Does your kb show shift panel ?
Tnx

You know gamon77, I use the QWERTY style keyboard and although I don't see any shift or alt keys, the letters always show up as caps. The only extra key [except space] is a number key [1,2,3] which also gives me the different symbols as well. I see that you're using A,B,C style. There may be something different there. Try QWERTY and see what happens.

Nope, the same for qwerty and ALL other KB that I have tested with shift.
it seems as the shiftkeys= syntax is not recognized by Primo :-(
I took the code from 8.3.2 where it works with alt and with shift.
This KB gives you all you need in one UI and saves typing time

In Primo only the alt works, so with this one I have only small letters and numbers but not CAPS.


I hope someone will fix this soon.
tnx anyway

P.S. another feature that I miss is the iGOTODAY which is not present in Primo.
I couldn't find a way to use it. I tried using the 8.3.x today files and manually created a new key in registry
but this doesn't work.
if you know a way to do it, I'll be glad to learn. tnx
