If the character is not shifted, then the implementation should send a shift release if it's pressed. For example, the string "a@e" should generate the following interactions: - Key Down, 'a' - Key Up, 'a' - Key Down, 'Shift' - Key Down, '@' - Key Up, '@' - Key Up, 'Shift' - Key Down, 'e' - Key Up, 'e' Currently, the ports implement this separately. For example, Mac explicitly inserts the shift key in `platformSimulateKeySequence()`. For WPE, somehow this seems to be handled by the old implementation, either in libwpe or in the FDObackend. In the new WPE API, we correctly translate '@' to the equivalent '2' hardware key, but due to the lack of the shift modifier, the generated WebEvent is '2' instead of '@'. Patch incoming.
