Shift down shortcut causing indefinite key press

Bug Reports

Describe the bug
I have the UK magic keyboard with numeric keypad. So, I want to change "" key to left shift. When I set up this shortcut and press the "" BTT beings trigger the holding the shift key indefinitely... And while writing this I've just noticed that it's not the "`" key only. Basically shift down doesn't let up, no matter what key it's assigned to.

Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):

So, I tried adding the same shortcut with the "`" key using the "shift up" and set it to trigger on "key up". This solves the problem but only allows only one key to be capitalized when typing.

No idea if this helps, but have you tried the toggle caps lock action instead of shift up/down?

Great idea! I tried it out. It kind of works but not consistently enough.

I appreciate the suggestion!
