And iPXE can works on EDKII base project is because EDKII Translate the CTRL+<key> characters in ReadKeyStroke.

UEFI specification does not define such conversion requirements, so the right way is all applications should use ReadKeyStrokeEx but not translate key combinations in ReadKeyStroke.

Thanks however ...
Feedback to BIOS vendors, if it's useful: Don't create broken real world implementations

(Sorry for the harsh reply here, but this isn't the only thing that is broken-ish on some implementations, and devs should know that EDKII is what most others develop and test on, so if something works on EDKII but not elsewhere, it is "elsewhere" that is seen as broken.)
