I'm having a problem where the Left Shift and Right Shift keys are not emulated properly.
Pressing either Shift key results in the keycode for the Left Shift key.
I am also having said problem. It is necessary in order to activate cheats in games that call for Right Shift, not Left Shift
The handling of keyboard will be better in the next version. Hopefully this will be fixed as well.

Shift happens....
Just Capital!
I've seen it in Pinball Fantasies, if you use just the shifts, you can't raise both flippers, only the 'first' you press raises 🙁
me waits for next version or ccoughvcoughs to play pfantasies
Don't be so hard
Without the right shift key you can-t decelerate in Frontier... anyone know a workaround for this game_
Well, i had the same problem. I solved it in a quite "hackish" way, by downloading the Dosbox Source Code and modifying it. It isn't as complicated as it may sound. You only have to change one line in "src/gui/sdlmain.cpp"
I remapped the "-" key to be the rightshift key by changing
case SDLK_MINUS:code=KBD_minus;break;
into
case SDLK_MINUS:code=KBD_rightshift;break;
Of course you can remap any other non important key.
Recompile ( Linux/MacOS: ./configure, make, make install <-- you need to be root to do that ) and you have a special version of dosbox, which should resolve your problem.
