Didn't understand that thing completely. But it sounds like:
 ``two modes to inverse the effect of a shift key'', i.e.
 in one mode it is a shift key, in the other mode it is an unshift key.
(A shift key that is pressed together with some other function key)

Apparently a `reverse the direction of a dial' is not really covered by
that - unless you can activate it using a shift key.
