How to reset devc-con char set?

I have, on occasion, hit some combination of keystrokes in a pterm that results in
getting caps when not caps-locked and vice versa. In addition, some keys map to
different characters. What sequence of keystrokes will cause devc-con to reset to
default?

I don’t know about devc-con, but in Photon, pressing Shift while you’re
holding down CapsLock acts as a “Shift lock”. Unlike the regular
CapsLock, which only affects letters, the Shift lock simply pretends
that you’re still holding Shift, so for instance, typing a ‘1’ will
produce a ‘!’ (on a US keyboard), and cursor keys in a text field will
extend the selection. Since pterm reads keys from Photon, this also
affects pterm.

To get out of this mode just press and release Shift.

BTW This kind of locking also works with Ctrl and Alt.
