I'm not quite sure without a reference book at hand, but I think
you'll have to look at the shift state at the time of that scan code.
Or even parse shift key presses and releases yourself, i.e. go even
further down the keyboard handling chain than scan codes, to do this.

Odds are it isn't worth the bother.
