That's ok; it's just not clear from the context why you have a list
of dicts but your comment about different modes explains that.

That's probably because the os is "preprocessing" the keystroke so
that shift-a returns "A" and not "a". You might find that you don't
even *need* the shift modifier in those circs.

If I get the time this pm, I'll try to put together some example
code which runs to more than 10 items in a dict just in case there
is some bizarre cornercase which is causing a problem but I honestly
doubt it.
