As I said before, it reads keyboard input events at a lower level via ReadConsoleInputW, instead of calling ReadConsoleW to read the input buffer as a text stream. To elaborate, this means it has to be aware of the keyboard state, per the [KEY_EVENT_RECORD][1] dwControlKeyState. This gets passed to [make_KeyPress][2] as `state`, which in turn ignores the CAPSLOCK_ON flag.
