USB Keyboard how to make shift,ctrl,win,alt keypress,?

I am attempting to implement a usb keyboard. This is a sample of project and it work. I send the letter "a" (small).
My question is how to send big letter "A" with shift press?

DEFINE OSC 48
DEFINE LOADER_USED 1

USBBufferSizeMax con 8 ' maximum buffer size
USBBufferSizeTX con 8 ' input
USBBufferSizeRX con 8 ' output

' the USB buffer...
USBBuffer Var Byte[USBBufferSizeMax]
USBBufferCount Var Byte
I var byte

TRISD = 255

usbinit ' initialise USB...

USBbuffer[0] = 0
USBbuffer[1] = 0
USBbuffer[2] = $04
USBbuffer[3] = 0
USBbuffer[4] = 0
USBbuffer[5] = 0
USBbuffer[6] = 0
USBbuffer[7] = 0

ProgramStart:
USBSERVICE
IF PORTD.0 = 0 THEN
pause 5
Goto DoUSBOut1
ENDIF
goto ProgramStart

DoUSBOut1:

USBBufferCount = USBBufferSizeTX ' TX buffer size
USBService ' keep connection alive
USBOut 1, USBBuffer, USBBufferCount,DoUSBOut1 ' if bus available, transmit data

Tipka3:
USBService
If PORTD.0 = 0 then
pause 5
goto tipka3
else
USBbuffer[2] = $FF
GOSUB DoUSBOut2
GOTO programstart
endif
goto Tipka3

DoUSBOut2:
USBBufferCount = USBBufferSizeTX ' TX buffer size
USBService ' keep connection alive
USBOut 1, USBBuffer, USBBufferCount,DoUSBOut2 ' if bus available, transmit data
return

end

Usb Modifier keys

Hey Faaktoo,

What I think you are looking for are called modifier keys. The modifier keys are keys such as shift, ctrl, alt and so on. They are set by setting the value in USBbuffer[0].

Modifier Key Bits
0 LEFT CTRL
1 LEFT SHIFT
2 LEFT ALT
3 LEFT GUI
4 RIGHT CTRL
5 RIGHT SHIFT
6 RIGHT ALT
7 RIGHT GUI

For example,

USBbuffer[0] = 00000010b

would register as having the left shift button pressed. I haven't actually tested this, and it's been a while since I played with my pics so hopefully this helps you out.

Here is a program I use to send key presses to the PC with various switches and encoders. You should be able to get the drift of what needs to happen to get caps, Ctrl, Alt etc.
