I compiled the example 3-11 at

https://www.libsdl.org/release/SDL-1.2.15/docs/html/guideinputkeyboard.html

then I run the example and pressed SHITF + A, and this is what I get:

Press:- Scancode: 0x32, Name: left shift, Unicode: ? (0x0000)
Modifers: None
Release:- Scancode: 0x00, Name: left shift
Modifers: None
Release:- Scancode: 0x26, Name: a
Modifers: LSHIFT SHIFT 
Release:- Scancode: 0x32, Name: left shift
Modifers: None

The first release is wrong, it should be a press with the correct scancode, e.g.:

Press:- Scancode: 0x26, Name: a
Modifers: LSHIFT SHIFT
