Description

Well, imagine you have a binding like "Q", and "q" - both of them are fired by hitting "Q" key on your keyboard.

But if you somehow display these keys on the screen of your app - users type shift+q to match the uppercase "Q", and just q for lowercase "q".

Hence, it would be nice if jwerty could detect shift+key, if bound key IS IN uppercase.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to detect shift key modifier in keyboard events and check if the bound key is uppercase. Modify the jwerty library to handle case sensitive bindings.
