Follow-up Comment #7, bug #12223 (project mc):

MC is not ported to DOS - it's ported to cygwin (and possibly mingw?). When
run in DOS through cygwin, mc does not directly interface with the keyboard
or the screen, instead it uses the standard terminal interface. It is not
possible to detect a shift key press through that interface. It would require
custom modifications to the terminal emulator or the terminal (DOS), as well
as the curses/slang library, and that is beyond MC's scope.

Please correct me if I'm wrong...
