Which shift keys? On which OS? On which terminal or terminal emulator?
"Borland C" makes me believe you're on Windows, but in the Windows
console (the "dos box" as used by cmd.exe) there should be no problem.
But naming "terminal" with no article seems to point to MacOsX, where
the most common terminal emulator is called Terminal.app. Or are you
using "terminal" as a generic name for any kind of text console
including the Linux text console, the konsole application which is part
of KDE, the gnome-terminal which is of course part of Gnome, the xterm
console which is a generic terminal emulator for X11 systems, etc.?
However, all these text consoles have different properties, their $TERM
or 'term' values are different, etc.
If you are trying to map the Shift key without another key to be hit
together with it, or if you are trying to distinguish between left-shift
and right-shift, Vim can't do it.
Shift-F1 to Shift-F12 ought to work, but I notice that here in konsole
Shift-F12 isn't seen by Vim. The other ones are though. In the Linux
console however, my Vim sees Shift-F1 to Shift-F8 but doesn't know what
they are; Shift-F9 to Shift-F12 it just doesn't see.
Shift-Up etc. may or may not work depending on whether the
termcap/terminfo entries Vim is using match what your keyboard interface
is sending.
In general, it's better to give enough specific details for people to
understand exactly what you're trying to do and what happens or doesn't
happen.
Best regards,
Tony.
