The keyboard input bug was a blocker too. Luckly i had the email from bugzilla.

Summary: Shift sticks when selecting text with the arrow keys. Product: ReactOS Version: 0.3.0-SVN Platform: VMWare 4 OS/Version: ReactOS Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P3 Component: Drivers AssignedTo: ros-bugs@reactos.com ReportedBy: waxdragon@ameritech.netVMWare 4.5.2 ReactOS r16251 (this is not a recent bug, I think 15xxx has it)
- Boot ROS
- Open notepad
- Type "This sucks"
- Press and hold Shift and use the arrow keys to select the previous text (not
the numberic keypad*) 5. Type "This sucks" again, notice it is in UPPERCASE and backspace no longer works
- Numlock seems to affect this. I boot vmware with numlock off, and this bug
occurs. If turn num lock on before typing, imput works as expected. It's Shift that gets stuck because capslock Shifts them back to lowercase, but the numbers come out as ! @ # $ still. The capslock - arrow keys interaction is also discussed in bug 617
There were some other comments on this bug, basically keycode dumps showing how the arrow keys are emulated my qemu and vmware.
Has anyone seen tinus?

After looking into this I found in win32k/ntuser/keyboard.c. All controls keys in wParam return left key as in VK_LCONTROL, VK_LMENU and VK_LSHIFT. I can not down menu with VK_MENU because wParam is VK_LMENU.
The numlock keys are also translated into, static WORD NumpadConversion[][2] = { { VK_DELETE, VK_DECIMAL }, { VK_INSERT, VK_NUMPAD0 }, { VK_END, VK_NUMPAD1 }, { VK_DOWN, VK_NUMPAD2 }, { VK_NEXT, VK_NUMPAD3 }, { VK_LEFT, VK_NUMPAD4 }, { VK_CLEAR, VK_NUMPAD5 }, { VK_RIGHT, VK_NUMPAD6 }, { VK_HOME, VK_NUMPAD7 }, { VK_UP, VK_NUMPAD8 }, { VK_PRIOR, VK_NUMPAD9 }, this is in W32kKeyProcessMessage. Maybe the bug is in keyboard.c or input.c. Thanks, James
