Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/153

Delete key is ⌫, forward delete is ⌦, but shifted forward delete shows as a boxed question mark indicating, I guess, an unknown character. I have a full mac keyboard with number pad and home, end, page up, page down keys section including the forward delete key. I use a key combination in Adobe Premiere for ripple delete: ⇧⌦ which poses 2 problems for KeyCastr: 1) Shift Glyph doesn't show at all (See my comment on @akitchen 's issue about shift modifier behaviour for my thoughts on a "menu style" mode for how to handle shift and key labels), and 2) shifted forward delete shows as a boxed question mark.

I'm currently on a laptop but I'm not surprised there could be an issue here. Our handling of shifted key combos needs improvement. Assuming this is true, I'd call it a bug

Shift + F1 shows up as a question mark for me. Such key combinations are used in some computer games. Seems like the same issue.

Shift Left/Right/Up/Down are all question marks
