Bug Description

Hi,

long-pressing shift enables CAPS mode to type long series of upper-case letters. Unfortunately, this is gets disabled when switching to numerals. This makes it impractical to enter a long WiFi passphrase containing a mix of upper-case letters and numerals.

I can see it would be more useful to keep CAPS enabled when switching back and forth between numerals and letters and can't think of a case where it's hurtful.

Cheers,
