Is there any way to send a startup key-stroke to an application running in wine?
Long story short, I'm trying to access a special window in Synthesia which is only displayed if you execute the application using Shift+Click. The problem is that I can't figure out how to reproduce this on Linux, while running the app under wine. I thought it may be a command line thing, but I couldn't find a command which does it either.
That leaves me with this, is it even possible? If so, how?

Another try: InXorg.confcomment out the lineOption "XkbOptions" "lv3:ralt_switch".

Explorer doesn't give Shift any special treatment while executing a file. It simply runs the executable as a command, otherwise how consoles and other applications can execute it? The application can't know whether you've pressed the Shift key or not. It can only do that after it has started

Exactly that, so there must be some way to emulate that on Wine, no? A simple Shift+Click on any DE doesn't work out here.
