You are right, I was somehow thinking that it might work as the Escape-Key does,
also after release.
Then I think I would love to have everything bound to the tab key, but I would
like to have the navigation commands (words-by-word, character-by-character and
line-by-line) bound to right shift and right control nonetheless. In my opinion
it's desirable to navigate with just hand on the screen and that isn't possible
with Caps or Tab.
