Advanced Keyboard Macro does not enter text correctly

[Greg Brewton]

Describe the bug

If you record a macro with the keyboard and use shift+anything, it does not correctly record the keyboard events. Keyup on shift is always directly after the keydown event regardless of any keys that may be pressed while the shift key is down. For example && records as shift down + shift up + 7 = 7 and prints "77."

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Record a keyboard macro using the shift key
2. Observe the recorded actions
3. Observe the actual output

Expected behavior

Output should match input

Additional context

Though it is still in beta, have you tried the latest version 3.0.0-rc9.5? You also need to download beta version from Google Play Beta program

Version 3.1.02, when I record something like Ctrl-Shift-F, it records:
Ctrl down
Ctrl Up
Shift down
Shift up
F down
F up

Which of course does not do the multi-key chord, but only presses and releases each key in sequence. The "Simple keyboard" is even worse, as it will record shift-F or Ctrl-F but not shift-ctrl-F.

The key event sequence recorder has been revised in version 3.0.2

Looking forward to your feedback.
