Hotkey letters incorrectly transformed to uppercase

[rehakp]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Description

When entering a single letter key (so that I want to boot e.g. the "USB HDD" item with the "u" letter key), EFI Boot Editor transforms it to upper case (can be seen when entering the hotkey field again). The firmware then interprets it so that I should press Shift+u, and it really works when pressed.

Environment

• Application version: v1.5.0
• Operating system: Windows 10 PRO / Windows 11 PRO with latest updates
• EFI/BIOS/Motherboard vendor: Lenovo
• EFI/BIOS version: BIOS R1EET57W(1.57 ) (26.09.2023), motherboard 20TD001GCK version SDK0J40697 WIN

Raw EFI data

EFIDump.json

Additional information

First I must say I have found a workaround for this issue. When entering the hotkey letter, I pressed ALT+117 on the numeric keypad to enter small latin u 💖.

And now the output of bcdedit /enum firmware:

Steps to reproduce

1. Start EFI Boot Editor.
2. Go to Edit > Hot keys.
3. Click Add hot key.
4. In the 1st column, click and select "USB HDD" (possible on the Lenovo laptop).
5. In the 2nd column, click and enter the single character "u".
6. Probably you can see it right now, but I am blind and accessibility is not as good in List Views in this app so that items aren't being read (just e.g. boot index 28 (boot001c) instead of "USB HDD", nothing in place of a hot key column), so click the Hot key cell and my screen reader can tell that the letter is uppercase.
7. Click Close and then save with Ctrl+S.
8. Reboot with any external media in any USB port and repeatedly press SHIFT+U - firmware beeps as soon as it catches the hot key and executes it.
9. Repeat from step 5, replacing the "u" character with ALT+NUMPAD1,NUMPAD1,NUMPAD7 keys. Then in step 8 press just "u" without the Shift key.

This should be fixed, since 1.5.1 actually. Feel free to reopen if otherwise.
