Details

Hitting the shift key in editor mode on Linux generates a key event and inserts a character. This doesn't happen on the other platforms. Makes it impossible to enter capital letters, so we need this fixed for M3 (should be an easy fix). I thought I had this working right on Thursday, am looking into why it came back.

Pavlov found a fix, awaiting approval to check it in. (I was rejecting shifted characters rather than the shift key event itself; need to check event->keyval and match against all the possible modifier key vals.)
