The engine has absolutely no concept of a toggle key. In the QB days, it 
expected toggle keys to behave exactly like regular keys. The gfx_fb 
backend emulated this.

The gfx_sdl does it the same way except for the CAPSCLOCK key. If I 
understand correctly, SDL 
itself treats capslock as if it is always being held down when it is in 
the ON state.

I am not sure what is best for the gfx_directx backend to do with toggle 
keys.

I know we definitely need to fix any places where capslock us used for 
silly things. (Is the sprite editor color-picker the only remaining 
example of that? I can't remember for sure.)
