Please make
C-S-g [keyboard-quit]
work just like
C-g [keyboard-quit]
to get out of
Please type y, n, ! or SPC (the space bar):
in case one's CAPS LOCK key gets stuck, etc.
Seen on
You have typed e, invoking disabled command gnus-summary-edit-article.
It is disabled because new users often find it confusing.
Here’s the first part of its description:

To reproduce:
emacs -Q
C-x n n
and then try using C-S-g to break out of it, and that doesn't work.
So I'm guessing that whatever does this translation normally doesn't
work in whatever disabled-command-function uses...
Oh, it's this:
(while (progn (setq char (read-event))
(or (not (numberp char))
(not (memq (downcase char)
'(?! ?y ?n ?\s ?\C-g)))))
(ding)
(message "Please type y, n, ! or SPC (the space bar): "))))
Because normally C-S-g works the same as C-g (see below). Should we
perhaps just add C-S-g to the events this function checks for?
---
C-g (translated from C-S-g) runs the command keyboard-quit (found in
global-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
‘simple.el’.
It is bound to C-g.
(keyboard-quit)
Signal a ‘quit’ condition.

But C-S-g is not a character.

But it's an event...

Sure, and we have many others that mean "get me out of here".
Probably should support more than just one extra.
Btw, if I leave CAPS LOCK stuck and type C-g, I do get Quit. So I
don't think I understand the bug report. You explicitly pressed C-S-g
in your recipe, but that's not really reasonable in my book -- the
user explicitly pressed Shift, a much less innocent mistake.

Ah, right. I have caps lock totally disabled, so I wasn't able to test
that bit. Then I don't think there's anything here to fix, and I'm
closing this bug report.
