Yeah.. I guess the fix here would be to distinguish between "true" shift and capslock-shift.

Have you considered supporting dead keys? Would that be difficult considering the current codebase? I started to look into the code, but i'm not at a point yet where I have a good grasp on it.

With dead keys, we can leave the keyboard config deal with this, and I have a lot of ideas as to what can be done with them.

We already support dead keys (see https://github.com/nightkr/flickboard/blob/605bef3de5da6c028789722e8981b5d4846232ea/app/src/main/java/se/nullable/flickboard/KeyboardService.kt#L195-L198), though with a postfix syntax (like ME, you type a¨ for ä, vs ¨a on a regular QWERTY keyboard).
