Dropped Shift Modifier key from System Events Key Codes

[dexwolfram]

Hi, great utility!

When using Applescript in host OS (MacOS 15.3.2) to send keystrokes as System Events to guest OS (MacOS 15.3.2, Ubuntu), the shift key is dropped. So uppercase letters become lowercase, symbols become numbers ($ -> 4, : -> ;). Happens with all guest OS tested, including MacOS guest and Ubuntu guest. VirtualBuddy 1.7.

Do you think tis is a problem with VirtualBuddy or Apple Virtualization Framework (AVF)?

Applescript:

on run {input, parameters}
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
key down shift
keystroke "hello"
key up shift
end tell
return input
end run

Expected result:
HELLO
Actual result:
hello

on run {input, parameters}
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
key down shift
delay 0.5
key down 21
delay 0.5
key up 21
delay 0.5
key up shift
end tell
return input
end run

Since key events are handled by Virtualization, this is most likely a bug in virtualization itself. However it is possible that it's something we could work around in the app somehow 🤔
