I have the same issue. SUMMARY Whenever i try to use the Remote Input feature on the Android Client, when i type a capital letter, the PC receives it as a lowercase letter. For example i press shift button on my android keyboard + c, the PC receives only the lowercase 'c'. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pair android phone with a PC 2. Go into remote input on the phone 3. Bring keyboard up on phone 4. Press shift + <random letter> OBSERVED RESULT I observe that the lowercase letter is typed on the PC instead. So the shift key has no effect. EXPECTED RESULT I expect the letter typed on the PC to be capital, since shift was pressed.

Issue effects both
There seems to be a similar issue in rustdesk. They say it doesn't happen i X11, so it might be a Wayland problem?

[plugins/mousepad] Allow uppercase keysyms for portal input Currently all keyboard input is converted to lowercase. Combined with the shift key this can still produce an uppercase key, but that doesn't seem to happen for everyone.
