Caps lock has no effect on whether shift is detected -- the Swing key 
events happen at actual keypress/release level, not the interpreted 
result of those key presses.  So, you set an action listener on the key 
G pressed with a particular set of modifiers, in this case either 
Ctrl/Alt (Alt if on Mac, which maps to Cmd) and Shift to get 
find-previous.  That will happen regardless of whether Caps lock is on 
or off.
