Shift (caps) and FN key don't work on HTC ChaCha

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. On HTC ChaCha hardware keyboard, press the shift key 
2. Type any letter and see that it is not capitalized
3. Press FN key
4. Type any letter and see that instead of a fn character (dashes, quotes, 
numbers, etc) the corresponding letter appears - that is, nothing happens, it 
is like FN wasn't pressed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- The letter should be capitalized when shift is pressed once, or all caps if 
shift is pressed twice. Instead, the letters are still lower case, as if shift 
wasn't pressed. 
- Same thing for FN. When FN is pressed once, a secondary character, such as a 
dash, bracket, question mark, quotes and so on should be typed, but instead the 
letter for that key is typed. That is, it acts the same as if the key was not 
pressed. The FN key does not work. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- Jota Text Editor: Ver. 0.2.29 (79)
- Android version: 2.3.5, 
- HTC Sense version: 2.1 for Messenger

Please provide any additional information below.
This problem exists on large number of other text editors and word processors 
on HTC ChaCha. On some of them it works when the shift or FN key is being held 
while the letter is pressed (the way shift works on a PC, for example).

I hope you will decide to fix this issue, because I would really like to be 
able to use this amazing editor, but without the ability to type numbers and 
other characters, it is useless to me (you can't even write plain English 
without the hyphen :( )

Thank you for your hard work.
