Input Help Mode should announce actual character produced when Shift plus a key is struck

[britechguy]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Input Help Mode seems to be intended to let the user know what key or key combination they have struck, and if a key combination happens to be an NVDA command, to describe the actual NVDA functionality. In the case of SHIFT plus most keyboard characters that are not letters, it is announcing SHIFT plus whatever the lowercase character is on the key. This is not helpful since, in reality, SHIFT plus most keyboard keys produces a distinct character. Hearing SHIFT plus three when hitting number row three is in no way helpful. Pound sign/hashtag/number sign (depending on the synth) is what should be announced, as when a user has SHIFT depressed and hits number row 3, that's the actual character produced in any context that accepts text input.

Describe the solution you'd like

Noted in the problem description. It is questionable whether any announcement needs to be made as far as capital letters are concerned, but for all other keys where SHIFT plus that key produces a character that is different than when SHIFT is not held with it, the actual character that would be typed should be announced.
